brand font family names are not quoted in generated CSS

src/core/sass/brand.ts の brandTypographyLayer から始め、src/core/css.ts の asCssFont および src/format/html/format-html-scss.ts にある既存の mainfont パスと、ファミリーの扱いを比較します。自己完結型の HTML 例をレンダリングし、生成された Bootstrap CSS を確認します。brand font-family 宣言が一貫して引用符で囲まれ、Typst に影響を与えずに HTML と revealjs の出力で Source Sans 3 が適用されれば完了です。

Bug description

A brand font family whose name contains a bare number does not apply in HTML output. The text falls back to the browser default serif font.

Quarto writes the family name into the generated CSS without quotes. For Source Sans 3 the output is font-family:Source Sans 3. A bare 3 is not a valid CSS identifier, so the browser discards the whole declaration.

The @import for the font is correct and the font downloads. This makes the problem look like a font-loading error, but the font is never used.

Quotes in the YAML do not help. Quarto strips them before it generates the CSS.

The same family name works when it is set with document metadata instead:

mainfont: Source Sans 3   # produces font-family:"Source Sans 3" — works

Related but different: #11947 reports Source Sans 3 as a _brand.yml font, and that thread diagnosed a Typst font-name mismatch. The HTML side was noted as unexplained there. This issue is the HTML cause.

Steps to reproduce

Render this self-contained document to HTML:

---
title: Font test
format: html
brand:
  typography:
    fonts:
      - family: Source Sans 3
        source: google
    base: Source Sans 3
---

Hello world.

Open the result in a browser, or read the generated index_files/libs/bootstrap/bootstrap-*.min.css.

A _brand/_brand.yml file with the same typography block produces byte-identical CSS.

Actual behavior

The generated CSS holds the family name without quotes:

@import"https://fonts.googleapis.com/css2?family=Source+Sans+3:ital,wght@0,400;0,700;1,400;1,700&display=swap";
...
:root,[data-bs-theme=light]{...--bs-body-font-family: Source Sans 3;...}
...
font-family:Source Sans 3

The computed font-family on body in Chromium is Times.

Scope, measured on Quarto 1.11.4:

Element	Affected	Note
base	yes	$font-family-base, $mainFont, $mermaid-font-family
headings	yes	$headings-font-family, $presentation-heading-font
monospace, monospace-inline, monospace-block	yes	falls back to generic monospace
link	no	link has no family property in the schema

Format	Affected
html	yes
revealjs	yes (--r-main-font, --r-heading-font, --r-code-font)
typst	no — the Typst emitter writes font: ("Source Sans 3",), always quoted

Font source	Affected
google	yes
bunny	yes
file	yes

The file source shows the inconsistency inside one stylesheet. The @font-face rule quotes the family, the variable that uses it does not:

@font-face{font-family:"My Font 3";src:url("fonts/myfont.woff2");font-weight:400;font-style:normal}
...
font-family:My Font 3

The trigger is any family name with a space-separated part that starts with a digit. Source Sans 3, Bricolage Grotesque 96pt, M PLUS 1 Code and M PLUS Rounded 1c all fail. Roboto Mono works, because both parts are valid identifiers.

Cause

brandTypographyLayer interpolates the value straight into the Sass variable, with no quoting for family names:

https://github.com/quarto-dev/quarto-cli/blob/abc6a78ed68f9e8bc9d54e27851093bd687a1cb7/src/core/sass/brand.ts#L543-L549

A helper for this already exists. asCssFont quotes any font name that contains a space:

https://github.com/quarto-dev/quarto-cli/blob/abc6a78ed68f9e8bc9d54e27851093bd687a1cb7/src/core/css.ts#L85-L104

It is used for the mainfont and monofont metadata path, which is why mainfont: Source Sans 3 works:

https://github.com/quarto-dev/quarto-cli/blob/abc6a78ed68f9e8bc9d54e27851093bd687a1cb7/src/format/html/format-html-scss.ts#L481-L482

The brand path does not use it. Applying asCssFont when source is family would match the existing metadata path, the @font-face rule that fileFontImportString already emits with quotes, and Bootstrap's own defaults in the same stylesheet (--bs-font-sans-serif: system-ui, -apple-system, "Segoe UI", Roboto, …).

Expected behavior

The generated CSS quotes the family name, and the font applies:

font-family:"Source Sans 3"

With the quotes added by hand to the generated stylesheet, the computed font-family on body becomes "Source Sans 3" and the font renders.
