Just to offer an alternative solution how to add a font file, you can also include the font using the postcss-url plugin as follows. (cc @cvkmohan )

1. Place the font in assets/fonts

I only need the one variable font file in WOFF2 format so for me it’s at assets/fonts/Inter.var.woff2.

2. Add postcss-url dependency

npm install postcss-url --save-dev

3. Add the plugin to assets/postcss.config.js

Mine looks like this after adding it:

module.exports = {
  plugins: {
    'postcss-import': {},
    'postcss-url': { url: 'inline' },
    tailwindcss: {},
    autoprefixer: {},
  }
}

4. Add the @font-face definition to your app.css

@font-face {
  font-family: 'Inter';
  font-weight: 1 999;
  src:
    url('../fonts/Inter.var.woff2') format('woff2-variations');
}

–

The above configuration will inline the font into your CSS like this:

@font-face { font-family: "Inter"; src: url("data:font/woff2;base64,d09G[...]d6eMC") format("woff2-variations"); font-weight: 1 999; }

If you prefer to keep the font(s) in separate files, use copy instead of inline.
