When i followed the stepped i received an _Error: Undefined variable: “$fontname”._

So:  
I declared the variable in $variables:  
`fontname: "assets/fontname.woff2";`

It’s seems to me you have to fill it in, but what path to use in the $variables?

When you let Discourse upload the files with

```plaintext
"assets": {
        "fontname": "assets/fontname.woff2"
   }

```

it uploads the file to another path then _assets/roboto.woff2_ it seems  
(`/uploads/db0202/original/1X/...`)

Edit:  
No need for $variables, the magic happens with the uploads. But i had assets/font.svg#regular in the assets and the hashtag created the issue.
