Description

I've been experiencing this error in various projects. I'm not sure why I can't reproduce the error on Stackblitz. It's the same repo and branch. The error is still showing up on my end as of now. The only way to get rid of this error is by removing @nuxt/fonts from the nuxt.config.ts. So I figured there is a conflict between@nuxt/fonts and @nuxt/devtools?

[dosubot]

The error you're encountering with @nuxt/fonts and @nuxt/devtools seems to be related to the extendServerRpc function, which facilitates communication between the Nuxt development tools UI and the server. This issue might be similar to a previously reported problem that was resolved in a past version of @nuxt/fonts.

To address this, first, ensure you're using the latest versions of both @nuxt/fonts and @nuxt/devtools. If updating does not resolve the issue, consider reviewing your .nuxtrc file for any incorrect module references that could be causing a conflict.

It's also worth noting that changes in @nuxt/fonts version 0.7.0 do not explicitly mention modifications that would conflict with @nuxt/devtools, suggesting that the issue might be more nuanced, possibly involving specific configurations or steps in your development process.

If the problem persists after these checks, providing more detailed information about your configuration and the steps leading to the error could help identify other potential causes.
