The --font-ui variable in @theme inline used var(--font-inter) which doesn't resolve at build time — Next.js sets --font-inter on <body> at runtime via a class. Use var(--font-inter) directly in the CSS rule instead of going through the @theme variable. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

Summary
Inter (sans-serif) wasn't rendering on UI elements (nav, buttons, inputs). DevTools showed
font-familyresolving to Lora instead of Inter.Root cause:
--font-uiwas defined in@theme inlineusingvar(--font-inter), but Next.js sets--font-interon<body>at runtime via a class. Tailwind's@theme inlineis processed at build time and can't see runtime CSS variables — sovar(--font-inter)resolved to nothing, falling back to Lora.Fix: Use
var(--font-inter)directly in the CSS rule (where it resolves at runtime) instead of going through the@themevariable.
