Is there a way to set font_family of social card dynamically depending on the language of content?

I found the following solution to set font_family in social card for specific language

https://squidfunk.github.io/mkdocs-material/setup/setting-up-social-cards/#choosing-a-font

There is an issue of font of social card in QField documentation which has multiple languages' contents.

opengisch/QField-docs#355

Default roboto font does not work for Chinese and Japanese. If we select Noto Sans JP, it does not work for Chinese. Noto Sans SC also does not work for Japanese.

This QField plugin uses i18n plugin to implement internationalisation. Is there a way to dynamically change font_family of social plugin depending on the language of contents? Do you have any advice for this issue?

I just found my commiting QField has likely access to your insider version of module. I think OpenGIS.ch is your regular sponsor.
I guess this can be solved by using customization functionality which is available in insiders by adding font family for each *.ja.md and *.zh.md.

I am asking OpenGIS.ch to try this customization feature in their issue since I don't have access to insiders.

Jup, this can definitely be solved by customizing social cards! If you have access to Insiders, I think the simplest way is to use the built-in meta plugin to override font_family for each subtree of your documentation as described here, something like:

docs/ja/.meta.yml

social:
  cards_layout_options:
    font_family: Noto Sans JP

docs/zh/.meta.yml

social:
  cards_layout_options:
    font_family: Noto Sans SC

Note that paths depend on your directory layout. It's currently not supported to scope the application of metadata through .meta.yml files based on file extension, i.e., apply metadata only to files ending in *.zh.md.
