Dec 1, 2024December 2024 monthly summary for google/fonts: Implemented production-ready font list pruning to_production.txt, removing a large set of font entries to streamline production packaging and deployment. This work involved updating the production font list (commit e5c2b48b7bb4e2d910f9341c0364bb304329a3be) and aligning with the release workflow to ensure only intended fonts are shipped. Result: leaner release artifacts, more predictable builds, and reduced risk of including dev/test fonts in production. The change supports faster deploys, easier licensing/compliance, and improved font quality consistency across environments.
