Tailwind.min.css overrides tailwind.css in my Nuxt app

Whenever I try to configure Tailwind, so it accepts my custom font, it overrides the tailwind.css file with tailwind.min.css. Therefore, the changes don't show up.

enter image description here

Look, these are my files.

// tailwind.config.js
const defaultTheme = require('tailwindcss/defaultTheme')

module.exports = {
  purge: [
    './components/**/*.{vue,js}',

    './layouts/**/*.vue',

    './pages/**/*.vue',

    './plugins/**/*.{js,ts}',

    './nuxt.config.{js,ts}',
  ],
  darkMode: false, // or 'media' or 'class'
  theme: {
    extend: {
      fontFamily: {
        sans: ['Rubik', ...defaultTheme.fontFamily.sans],
      },
    },
  },
  variants: {
    extend: {},
  },
  plugins: [],
}

// nuxt.config.js
module.exports = {
  ...,
  css: ["~assets/css/tailwind.css"],
  ...,
}

/*@/assets/css/tailwind.css*/
@tailwind base;
@tailwind components;
@tailwind utilities;

@layer base {
  @font-face {
    font-family: 'Rubik';
    src: url(../fonts/Rubik-Light.ttf);
    font-weight: 300;
  }
  @font-face {
    font-family: 'Rubik';
    src: url(../fonts/Rubik-Medium.ttf);
    font-weight: 500;
  }
  @font-face {
    font-family: 'Rubik';
    src: url(../fonts/Rubik-Regular.ttf);
    font-weight: 400;
  }
}

The fonts are located in the right place relative to tailwind.css.

I went through this issue today, I bet you created your nuxt app using "create-nuxt-app" command, and you chose TailwindCSS as UI framework, and started working on the starter template.

if this is the case, you will find a component named tutorial.vue, that component is calling calling tailwind.min.css as an external resource.

<link> href="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/tailwindcss@2.1.2/dist/tailwind.min.css" rel="stylesheet">

please remove it, and everything will work as expected.

I made this work by using a new font-family (I named it Rubik), and used it at a top level div:

/*assets/css/tailwind.css*/
@tailwind base;
@tailwind components;
@tailwind utilities;

@layer base {
  @font-face {
    font-family: 'Rubik';
    src: url(../fonts/Rubik-Light.ttf);
    font-weight: 300;
  }
  @font-face {
    font-family: 'Rubik';
    src: url(../fonts/Rubik-Medium.ttf);
    font-weight: 500;
  }
  @font-face {
    font-family: 'Rubik';
    src: url(../fonts/Rubik-Regular.ttf);
    font-weight: 400;
  }
}

//tailwind.config.js
module.exports = {
  mode: 'jit',
  purge: [
    './components/**/*.{vue,js}',

    './layouts/**/*.vue',

    './pages/**/*.vue',

    './plugins/**/*.{js,ts}',

    './nuxt.config.{js,ts}',
  ],
  theme: {
    extend: {
      fontFamily: {
        rubik: ['Rubik', ...defaultTheme.fontFamily.sans],
      },
    },
  },
}

<!-- pages/index.vue -->
<template>
  <div class="font-rubik">
    <Tutorial />
  </div>
</template>

<script lang="ts">
import Vue from 'vue'

export default Vue.extend({})
</script>
