For test 1:
Fonts located in /media/templates/site/cassiopeia/fonts
Font preview works correctly, no 404 errors in browser console
For test 2:
Fonts located in /templates/cassiopeia/fonts
404 error occurs (expected for modern templates)

TL;DR The 2nd folder now works, but the 1st one no longer does. @dgrammatiko Could you please check? #46717 states The font is previewed in both tests.
❌ Final test before merge with JBT and used Ubuntu TTF font
- Executing
mkdir media/templates/site/cassiopeia/fonts administrator/templates/atum/fonts media/templates/administrator/atum/fontsfirst - Before PR, seen rendering is working in
templates/cassiopeia/fontsdir, but not is the font only inmedia/templates/site/cassiopeia/fontsdir and 404 Not Found in JS console log - Same, working for
administrator/templates/atum/fonts, but not working if font is only inmedia/templates/administrator/atum/fontsfolder - Applied PR with Patch Tester
- ✅ Font from
media/templates/site/cassiopeia/fontsdir only is correctly rendered and no 404 Not Found anymore - ❌ Font from
templates/cassiopeia/fontsdir is not rendered and 404 Not Found - ✅ Font from
media/templates/administrator/atum/fontsonly is correctly rendered and no 404 Not Found anymore - ❌ Font from
administrator/templates/atum/fontsdir only is not rendered and 404 Not Found

That’s correct, the modern templates expect all the static assets to be served from the media folder (compatibility with the public folder and better security). In sort your test was correct and the results are the expected ones
As discussed yesterday in the maintainer meeting: Old templates load their assets from the template folder, new templates (inheritable) use the media folder, so the PR is fine and can be merged.
