Description
I have an HTML export of a 3D figure created using the Python API. For website embedding, I load a custom font from a server. For the example here, I'll just use a Google Font with a distinct style:
<link
href="http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Audiowide"
rel="stylesheet"
type="text/css"
/>
I include a template in the plot layout so that this font is used for axis labels, tick labels, and et cetera. For 2D plots, this works as expected. For 3D plots, the axis and tick labels do not use the font at all.
I can't share the HTML export, but I recreated a minimal example from scratch to demonstrate this using Plotly.js:

- Open a pull request that references the issue number.
Research direction
Start by running the minimal Plotly.js HTML example attached to the issue and compare font handling between its 2D and 3D plots. Trace the 3D axis and tick-label rendering path; done means remotely loaded fonts are applied to those labels as they are in 2D plots.
