While in many cases fonts can be inherited from the main document, the encapsulation of the Shadow DOM means that if you want to ensure the font is always available (and not rely on outer stylesheets), you should explicitly load it inside the shadow’s stylesheet. This can be done by placing an @import at the top of your component’s
When working with Shadow DOM in web components, one of the key advantages is style encapsulation — your component’s CSS doesn’t leak out, and outside styles don’t bleed in. This makes it ideal for creating self-contained UI elements. However, when it comes to web fonts, particularly Google Fonts, there’s a subtle caveat: simply declaring a font-family in your Shadow DOM CSS isn’t enough if the font hasn’t been loaded in the shadow’s own scope. A common pitfall is to assume that fonts loaded in the main document will automatically be available in the Shadow DOM.
