Adding Google Font Family to Nuxt&Vuetify Project

Question

I am trying to build an app using Nuxt, Firebase and Vuetify. I am a novice developer and will appreciate kind help on the below issue.

I can not add Google Fonts (lastly tried Bellefair)or change global default font-size to my Nuxt with Vuetify project. My nuxt.config.js is below. Also I cannot change the default font size. I have tried various snippets I have found around but none seemed to work so far. I have lastly reached the below, but still to no success.

import colors from "vuetify/es5/util/colors";

export default {
  mode: "spa",

  head: {
    titleTemplate: "%s - " + process.env.npm_package_name,
    title: process.env.npm_package_name || "",
    meta: [
      { charset: "utf-8" },
      { name: "viewport", content: "width=device-width, initial-scale=1" },
      {
        hid: "description",
        name: "description",
        content: process.env.npm_package_description || ""
      }
    ],
    link: [{ rel: "icon", type: "image/x-icon", href: "/favicon.ico" }, {
      rel: "stylesheet", href:"https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Bangers|Bellefair"
    }]
  },

  loading: "@/components/loading",

  css: [],

  plugins: ["@/plugins/fireauth.js"],

  buildModules: ["@nuxtjs/vuetify"],

  modules: [
    "@nuxtjs/axios",
    "@nuxtjs/pwa",
    "@nuxtjs/date-fns"
  ],
  router: {
    middleware: "fb-auth"
  },

  axios: {},

  vuetify: {
    customVariables: ["~assets/styles/variables.scss"],
    theme: {
      light: true,
      themes: {
        dark: {
          primary: colors.blue.darken2,
          accent: colors.grey.darken3,
          secondary: colors.amber.darken3,
          info: colors.teal.lighten1,
          warning: colors.amber.base,
          error: colors.deepOrange.accent4,
          success: colors.green.accent3
        }
      }
    }
  },
  /*
   ** Build configuration
   */
  build: {
    /*
     ** You can extend webpack config here
     */
    extend(config, ctx) {}
  }
};

and my ~assets/styles/variables.scss file is:

$body-font-family: "Bellefair", sans-serif;
$font-size-root: 20px;

@font-face {
  font-family: "Bellefair";
  src: url("https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Bellefair");
}

body {
    font-family: "Bellefair", sans-serif;
}

EDITED: //\//\//\//\//\//\ I found a solution to my own question:

I added= css: ['~/assets/styles/my-custom-styles.css'] to my nuxt.config.js and in that file

div {
   font-family: "Montserrat", sans-serif;
   font-size: 18px;
}

Also, I realized that my nuxt.config.js header does not need the stylesheet link to googleapis.com.

Sorry about taking space here but am always welcome to see better responses...

1. Add your google font embed the link in nuxt.config.js, for example, to add DM Sans font.

head: {
  titleTemplate: '%s - ' + process.env.npm_package_name,
    title: process.env.npm_package_name || '',
      meta: [
        { charset: 'utf-8' },
        { name: 'viewport', content: 'width=device-width, initial-scale=1' },
        { hid: 'description', name: 'description', content: process.env.npm_package_description || '' }
      ],
        link: [
          { rel: 'icon', type: 'image/x-icon', href: '/favicon.ico' },
          {
            rel: 'stylesheet', href: '<link href="https://fonts.googleapis.com/css2?family=DM+Sans:wght@400;700&display=swap" rel="stylesheet"> '
          }
        ] },

2. enable treeshaking in vuetify section on nuxt.config.js .

vuetify: {
  customVariables: ['~/assets/variables.scss'],
  treeShake: true,
}

3. Add the rule assets/variable.scss:

$body-font-family : 'DM Sans', sans-serif;
