Answer 1

1. Make a fonts directory in the storage folder of your Laravel project. ( storage/fonts )
2. Put your .otf or .ttf files in the storage/fonts directory.

3. In your view/html add @font-face rules by using the storage_path method Laravel provides.

   @font-face {
       font-family: 'Your custom font name';
       src: url({{ storage_path('fonts\your-custom-font.ttf') }}) format("truetype");
       font-weight: 400; // use the matching font-weight here ( 100, 200, 300, 400, etc).
       font-style: normal; // use the matching font-style here
   }
   

4. Add font-family rules to your css as seen below

   body {
       font-family: "Your custom font name";
   }
   

Hope this helps.
