--------------------------+--------------------
 In the new Font Library that will be introduced in WordPress 6.4, we
 display a list of Google fonts. For performance reasons, instead of
 loading the full font assets to create the font previews, we are rendering
 a custom pre-generated SVG image with the preview. We would need to host
 those images somewhere. It would be useful to host that in wporg CDN.

 The SVG previews are currently hosted on this
 repo:https://github.com/WordPress/google-fonts-to-wordpress-collection
 specifically in the /output/preview folder.


 We would need to host them to access them from the frontend of the Font
 Library, you can try that in action on this Playground link:
 https://shorturl.at/alpHP

 This is the PR where this is being implemented:
 https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/pull/54566


 In summary:


 What?
 Host on wpoorg CDN, maintaining the same folders tree, the SVG files from
 /output/preview of the repo mentioned.

 Why?
 To load font previews fast in the new WordPress Font Library.
