Description

Version: 0.9.0

Description

Slides has wrong width on first init.

It looks like reason of this is calculating slides width right after component init, when fonts are not loaded yet.

UPDATE: Here is my repository with demo page.

Research direction
The bug occurs because slide width is calculated before custom fonts are loaded. The fix should involve deferring the width calculation until fonts are available, e.g., by listening to document.fonts.ready or the window load event. The relevant code is likely in the carousel component's mounted() hook or a resize watcher. Check the provided demo repository for reproduction details.
