Since this is similar/related to the font declarations at the bottom, and those also use body.guide, let's try and group them together.

How about something like this at the bottom:

html[dir="rtl"] {
  body.guide {
    // these declarations
  }

  &:lang("ar"), &:lang("fa") {
    body.guide { 
      // ... font declarations 
    }
  }

  &:lang("foo")...
}

So we have less spread changes related to dir=rtl.

I've done this where the items are simple. Where things are layout related or media query I've left them in place as it seems more logical and easier to understand. ae881dc

Cool, yeah I was mainly looking for this block really which seemed super related to the one at the bottom when I reviewed. 👍

More of thinking out loud, to hear your thoughts: would it work / make sense to style left by default, and use the dir=rtl tag to swap right, rather than having the two explicitly called out throughout the styles? In other words, by default (without thinking about "dir") it is listed there / it works... when we swap is that the extra dir is taken into account for changing stuff.

I don't mind it this way, just something that crossed my mind.

I don't have a strong opinion here, but the arguments for both methods:

Keeping as is:

  1. Pro: Clarity of what parameters are being addressed and how they change
  2. Con: If dir is not defined, it falls back to the cascade and works up the tree until it finds a declaration or the browser default.

Moving to only defining the override is effectively the opposite. I stuck with the method that was previously employed in the guides build, and I do like the visual clarity of the elements that change being spelled out next to each other, but it's not a hill I would die defending.

We can probably the .translated-rtl from here as well, and switch from body to html on the declarations above.

Will these cause the fonts to be downloaded upfront, or just they're actually referenced/needed? (i.e. for those specific languages, assuming we make the change to only refer to them there)

They load on page load. Not sure how we could only include that font for dir changed pages. Is there a technique you'd suggest?

Also, you can use unicode-range and system fonts without using 3rd party fonts.

@idangoldman unfortunately because we may swap dir on-the-fly with a google translation trigger, it won't work to embed that conditional via ERB.

We'd have to do it via JS and manually append the link tags when the translation changes.

I don't know much/enough about those system fonts for this though, @jathayde do you / have you tried?

@carlosantoniodasilva yeah fair point...

After looking into the codebase, I saw that all the currently used fonts in the guides are declaired as @font-face in guides/assets/stylesrc/style.scss.

@jathayde, what about adding the new fonts support into that file as @font-face with specific unicode-range, that way the fonts will be used (downloaded) only if characters on the unicode-range are presented on the screen.

Stay with me, it's a bit long ->

One thing, I haven't found how the fonts are generated/downloaded/stored on rubyonrails.org.

Another thing, Inter, Noto Sans Arabic, Heebo font face declaration can become more readable with writing a mixin inputs a map of the fonts options and outputs the above.

Playing with this right now and the only issue I've got is that Google bypasses this step for you when you serve from their CDN. We could download and host the fonts, but without doing that, I don't see a clear way to limit to unicode ranges. @carlosantoniodasilva do we want to try and serve these from our domain?

Also, I think we could leverage a variable font to reduce the @font-face calls instead of needing 18 declarations for each weight/style combo.

@jathayde I don't think we want to include all of those font-faces on rubyonrails.org . We did that for the main guides fonts, but this seems very specific use case to store there, we should leverage google instead.

What I'd prefer is just not load up those fonts upfront, but instead when they swap to a font that does require them. We could perhaps use JS to programmatically load the fonts from Google (by adding the tags to the head) when they select one of the fonts that require it? I don't think this is a blocker, but if that sounds like it could be okay I could look into it.
