Does Rive support referencing external woff/woff2 font files?

Didn't really see a method right now within Rive for dealing with external woff/woff2 font files. We have a font we want to use but can't since the TTF/OTF is not licensed for web use but the WOFF/WOFF2 is. Does Rive support this in some way or, if not, does it plan to support this in the future?

Hi We appreciate the use-case, but we don't currently have plans to add support for WOFF/WOFF2. Adding support would require a significant engineering effort and would increase the size of the runtimes.

That said, we might reconsider if we learn from more customers that WOFF/WOFF2 support is critical for their projects.

I guess I am confused as to how difficult this would be as it would act a lot like what you have in place for externalizing TTF files. You would just swap the TTF reference for the WOFF/WOFF2 reference. WOFF and WOFF2 are industry standard too for web work.
