Multisite not loading CSS/assets?

Sorry for the delay!

Are you saying it does not work as I have it laid out? Can we have a shared kirby/panel (and maybe other e.g. plugins) folder with sub folders for domains. I was pointing the domains at the multisite folder/site.php and thinking that would point to sub folders, am I wrong?

Your setup will work, but not exactly in the way you implemented it.
My recommendation: Use a directory structure like this:

kirby/
  ...
panel/
  ...
test.dev/
  assets/
    ...
  content/
    ...
  index.php
  kirby -> ../kirby
  panel -> ../panel
  site/
    ...
test2.dev/
  assets/
    ...
  content/
    ...
  index.php
  kirby -> ../kirby
  panel -> ../panel
  site/
    ...

Basically you have separate sites but use a global kirby and panel directory outside of the webroots. Those two directories are then linked into the sites using a symbolic link (ln -s ../kirby kirby).

On both Unix or MacOS it is the same. Changing to ‘/’ alters nothing but I appreciate your point.

It won’t change anything on Linux/macOS. But you should change it anyway.

The CSS and JS are loaded by autocss/autojs as they are the starter kit files. I’m also a bit confused about this, does this mean the ‘asset path’ cannot be used for images/fonts? Perhaps you have to set it manually in site.php?

Kirby does not keep track of any other assets than autocss/autojs and avatars. It just doesn’t care at all where all other assets like images and fonts are stored. That’s why there is no configuration option for this – it wouldn’t get used anywhere.
If you use css('assets/css/whatever.css'), you just get a style tag with a URL that is relative to the site’s root URL, it doesn’t matter if you are pointing to the assets directory or a directory with a different name.
