+
+:::
+
+### Self-hosting fonts
+
+By default, Excalidraw will try to download all the used fonts from the [CDN](https://esm.run/@excalidraw/excalidraw/dist/prod).
+
+For self-hosting purposes, you'll have to copy the content of the folder `node_modules/@excalidraw/excalidraw/dist/prod/fonts` to the path where your assets should be served from (i.e. `public/` directory in your project). In that case, you should also set `window.EXCALIDRAW_ASSET_PATH` to the very same path, i.e. `/` in case it's in the root:
+
+```js
+window.EXCALIDRAW_ASSET_PATH = "/";
+```
+
+or, if you serve your assets from the root of your CDN, you would do:
+
+```js
+// Vanilla
+<head>
+    <script>
+        window.EXCALIDRAW_ASSET_PATH = "https://my.cdn.com/assets/";
+    </script>    
+</head>
+```
+
+or, if you prefer the path to be dynamicly set based on the `location.origin`, you could do the following:
+
+```jsx
+// Next.js
+<Script id="load-env-variables" strategy="beforeInteractive" >
+    { `window["EXCALIDRAW_ASSET_PATH"] = location.origin;` } // or use just "/"!
+</Script>
+```
+
+### Dimensions of Excalidraw
+
+Excalidraw takes _100%_ of `width` and `height` of the containing block so make sure the container in which you render Excalidraw has non zero dimensions.
