Steps to reproduce this

Some woff fonts (not woff2, which we know isn't supported) aren't being read by Typr, and instead throw the error "pako is not defined". The actual error message is caught and silently handled, so you have to check "pause on caught exceptions" in your debugger to see it:

Here's the woff file I'm testing on, which is the latin italic woff2 of Montserrat from here https://fonts.googleapis.com/css2?family=Montserrat:ital,wght@0,100..900;1,100..900&display=swap and then converted manually to a woff: http://davepagurek.com/stuff/montserrat-italic.woff

Steps:

1. Load the font with font = await loadFont('http://davepagurek.com/stuff/montserrat-italic.woff')

I've added a comment on a previous issue in Typr. Note also that google at least determines font format from the user-agent. While probably not advisable, at least in the core, we could force specific compatible formats by spoofing this only for font requests
