Does the theme load google fonts or are the fonts stored locally? When I look into resources (chrome) I cannot find fonts.googleapis.com.

@wfranke: Hello Wilfred,
The Google Fonts are loaded from https://fonts.googleapis.com and are not store locally.

Hi Skandha,
How can I stop google fonts loading in the theme?

Any help much appreciated

Hi @wfranke,

Please use plugin: https://wordpress.org/plugins/host-webfonts-local/

This will help you host google fonts locally.

Thank you so much for the suggestion. I prefer to do it manually. How do I check that the theme does not load the fonts via fonts.googleapis.com anymore?

Do I have to add this in the functions.php of the child theme?

// Removing Google Fonts from theme
function dequeue_google_fonts_style() {
wp_dequeue_style( ‘adonis-fonts’ );
}
add_action( ‘wp_print_styles’, ‘dequeue_google_fonts_style’ );

// Removing Site Icon feature from theme
function remove_styles_sections($wp_customize) {
$wp_customize->remove_control(‘site_icon’);
}
add_action( ‘customize_register’, ‘remove_styles_sections’, 20, 1 );

kind regards
Wilfried

Hi Wilfried,

Just doing the first part will remove the font from google.

Second part of code looks like it is relater to site icon.

Hi Pratik,
thank you so much for the answer. I still have one question. How do I check that the theme does not establish a connection to fonts.google.com? I even can’t see it before using the fonts locally.
kind regards

Hi Wilfried,

Searching for https://fonts.googleapis.com in your site source should determine if google fonts are loaded or not. If you post your site url, I can check it for you.

[Wilfried]

That was really a quick answer. Here is the url: https://goldenhill.co.za/

I checked and google fonts are not being loaded.

Hi Pratik,
thanks for checking. I got the same result, but where are the fonts coming from? Skandha told me the fonts are loaded from fonts.googleapis (reply #263364). I’m confused now.

Hi Wilfred,

He meant, if you load google fonts, it comes from theme. But in your site, there is no google font being loaded.

[Wilfried]

Ah OK. Sorry for asking again. Where does catch kathmandu load the fonts from? Or are the fonts stored in the theme and they are on my server?

[Pratik]

Currently, you are only using web safe fonts. So they are rendered by your browser. It is installed in your pc by default.

They don’t usually need loading and have a fallback font as well, if your pc doesn’t have it.

Is this what you wanted to know?

[Wilfried]

Yes, that is what I wanted to know. Thank you again for answering my questions so quick!
kind regards
Wilfried
