 **Summary**: Fixed custom font loading in editor preview by adding missing MIME types to web server configuration. The issue was simpler than expected - the server was already serving project files, but was missing MIME type mappings for modern font formats.

+### [December 15, 2024] - Session 2 - Cline AI Assistant
+
+**Summary**: Added font fallback mechanism to handle legacy projects that may store font paths differently. The issue was that legacy projects might store fontFamily as just the filename (e.g., `Inter-Regular.ttf`) while new projects store the full relative path (e.g., `fonts/Inter-Regular.ttf`).
+
+**Files Modified**:
+- `packages/noodl-editor/src/main/src/web-server.js` - Added font fallback path resolution
+  - When a font file isn't found at the requested path, the server now searches common locations:
+    1. `/fonts{originalPath}` - prepend fonts folder
+    2. `/fonts/{filename}` - fonts folder + just filename
+    3. `/{filename}` - project root level
+    4. `/assets/fonts/{filename}` - assets/fonts folder
+  - Added console logging for fallback resolution debugging
+  - Fixed ESLint unused variable error in `server.on('listening')` callback
+
+**Technical Details**:
+- Font path resolution flow:
+  1. First tries exact path: `projectDirectory + requestPath`
+  2. If not found and it's a font file (.ttf, .otf, .woff, .woff2), tries fallback locations
+  3. Logs successful fallback resolutions to console for debugging
+  4. Returns 404 only if all fallback paths fail
 
 **Breaking Changes**:
-- None - this fix only affects development preview server
+- None - this enhancement only adds fallback behavior when files aren't found
 
 **Testing Notes**:
-- Manual testing required: Create project with custom fonts and verify they load in preview
-- Test all font formats: TTF, OTF, WOFF, WOFF2
-- Verify no 404 errors in console
-- Verify no "OTS parsing error" messages
-
-**Known Issues**:
-- None expected - changes are minimal and isolated to MIME type configuration
-
-**Next Steps**:
-- Build and test editor with changes
-- Create test project with multiple font formats
-- Verify fonts load correctly in preview
-- Test project switching behavior
+- Requires rebuild and restart of editor
+- Check console for "Font fallback:" messages to verify mechanism is working
+- Test with legacy projects that have fonts in various locations

 ### Console After Fix
 
-```
-(Document whether errors are resolved)

+**Important**: The fix requires restarting the dev server!
+
+Steps to test:
+1. Stop current `npm run dev` with Ctrl+C
+2. Run `npm run dev` again to recompile with new code
+3. Open a project with custom fonts
+4. Check console - should see NO 404 errors or OTS parsing errors
+
+**First Test Results** (Dev server not restarted):
+- Still seeing 404 errors - this is EXPECTED
+- Old compiled code still running in Electron
+- Changes in source files don't apply until recompilation
+
+**After Restart** (To be documented):
+- Fonts should load successfully
+- No 404 errors
+- No "OTS parsing error" messages
