Plugin Google Webfonts

[fraenkiman]

Hello all,

maybe you already know something about web fonts.

Pro:
+ countless variety of lossless compressed fonts.
+ available in Google Web Fonts CDN worldwide with low latency.
+ Regardless of the visitor's operating system, the font always looks the same.

Cons:
- The visitor to your web presence is not only accessing your server, but also Google's servers. In this case, the Google Font server may set a cookie or store other information on the visitor of your website.

A possible solution is to provide the Google web font on your own web server - GDPR-safe.

The Google Webfont Plugin offers five pre-installed web fonts, which you only need to insert into your CSS by setting a corresponding rule.

The plugin is available for download from now on, as usual, via the wiki.

With best regards
Frank

GDPR violations related to Google fonts have been a huge issue lately. Serving it locally is the solution, this plugin makes that very easy - nice one!
I felt free to promote this a little.

Hi fraenkiman,

thank you for your great work. One question has been left open (at least to me): In which .CSS-file I have to insert the fonts?

Thanks for any advise.

In which .CSS-file I have to insert the fonts?

Hello Stippi,

I have created a FAQ in the Wiki for your question. If the answer there is too vague, feel free to let me know.

Hello everyone,

A new version of the webfont plugin is available for download.

New feature:

• If size filtering (sizes) is specified, it splits the CSS at each @font-face declaration and only outputs those blocks whose font-weight matches the desired values.

In the admin area, you have fine-grained control over font styles, Unicode ranges and preloading.
