Where should template fonts be placed?

In order to standardize the look of a template for all users, I’ve been meaning to include a set of openly licensed fonts for normal text, code and math in a template, but I am unsure about what would be the best location for these, if the user is not supposed to change them. Can the folder structure be as follows, while still maintaining font discoverability of the fonts in the web app?

Template Git repo/
    template.typ
    fonts/
        TextFont.otf
        CodeFont.otf
        MathFont.otf
    template/
        main.typ

In other words, I would prefer if a fonts folder did not pollute the template folder, which a user sees if they use the template via the Typst web app. Is this possible?

Alternatively, is the following the only option, if the above structure does not work?

Template Git repo/
    template.typ
    template/
        fonts/
            TextFont.otf
            CodeFont.otf
            MathFont.otf
        main.typ

The fonts at least seem the be discoverable, if they are in a subfolder of template.

Hello @Santtu_Soderholm,
You should not provide the fonts through the package. In order to maintain font discoverability, the user of the template should install the font on their system.

Could it be possible to not copy the fonts folder in this repository, and add a link in the README pointing directly to this folder on your GitHub repo? Having it in this repository doesn’t make it particularly easier to access, and all these files are quite heavy.
