Font optimization (next/font)

Link to the code that reproduces this issue or a replay of the bug

npx create-next-app

To Reproduce

I want to export my pages using relative URL's like:

href="_next/static/...."

I am using the solution here: https://github.com/vercel/next.js/issues/2581

I am using the basic project created by create-next-app without Tailwind CSS.
(Every option in create-next-app is default except for Tailwind CSS )

Here is my next.config.js:

const nextConfig = {
    output: 'export',
    assetPrefix: './'
}
module.exports = nextConfig

When I run "next build", an error occurs:

app\layout.tsx
`next/font` error:
assetPrefix must start with a leading slash or be an absolute URL(http:// or https://)
Describe the Bug

If I comment everything related to "next/font" in "app\layout.tsx"

import './globals.css'
// import { Inter } from 'next/font/google'

// const inter = Inter({ subsets: ['latin'] })

export const metadata = {
  title: 'Create Next App',
  description: 'Generated by create next app',
}

export default function RootLayout({
  children,
}: {
  children: React.ReactNode
}) {
  return (
    <html lang="en">
      {/*<body className={inter.className}>{children}</body>*/}
      <body>{children}</body>
    </html>
  )
}

Everything works fine.

So the bug is with next/font module.

Expected Behavior

"next/font" should support a relative path in assetPrefix like "./"

Research direction

Start with next.config.js and app/layout.tsx, then run next build on the create-next-app reproduction using output: 'export' and assetPrefix: './'. Trace the next/font error requiring a leading slash or absolute URL, and verify that relative asset paths work without breaking font optimization.
