Hey guys, My head is exploding. I want to upload a few files for custom fonts. I want the file to be accessible like domain.com/filename.svg or domain.com/folder/filename.svg or whatever! Problem is that the discourse uploader doesn’t upload svg files and I get an error even though I selected t…

Could be a bug related to svg uploads as attachments; we don’t see a lot of those, and they have security implications as well. I suggest using woff2 instead as it is more standard for fonts.

As said in the READ ME FIRST: Admin Quick Start Guide topic you can upload woff2 fonts to the Assets for the site design topic, and use the resulting urls.

Can’t see the URLs. Whats the address?

I did that already but it still doesn’t work.

You must refresh the browser after editing the allowed file types. We assume these settings are not changing a lot so they are heavily cached.

I did that too, cleared the cache too!

I get this error when i upload svg files: Sorry, but we couldn’t determine the size of the image. Maybe your image is corrupted?

I did that and it worked well. thanks

Also, enable the filetypes you need in Admin, Site Settings, allowed attachment file types.
