Hello,
as the use of Google Fonts is classified as illegal, when loaded from google.
Is there anything planned to solve the problem with Enfold? It uses those fonts…
Kind regards,
Katiif you selfhost them ( and this is allowed from Google – no it is even recommended : Link ) – it is not illegal then.
See here the mentioned Google Webfonts HelperHello Guenni007,
ok, that is a solution.
But to be honest, I think in a paid theme, there should be a possibility to host the fonts out of the box.
I once had to upload a different font by using the backend of enfold, but it didn’t work properly. So I’m glad that this was only once…
For the next update of Enfold, it would be very helpful to have something to host the webfonts. Because this is a thing that concerns EVERY website in Germany, which is built in Enfold.
as long as you do not enable the use of Google fonts by default – everything is GDPR compliant – after consent, the way is then clear for embedding as well.
You must of course use the advanced features of the theme’s privacy settings for this.
I’m sorry, but the box itself uses the font of the theme – in case of Open Sans it is illegal.
Also fontawesome is a problem. So i think there is something to do in Enfold…
if that is the case – you are right! i do use borlabs cookie plugin – and selfhost my fonts – so i did not come into conflict with GDPR in this way.
Can you please read here further : https://kriesi.at/support/topic/prevent-google-font-loading-before-opt-in-gdpr-data-privacy/
It seems that only google font is loaded if maps or recaptcha are used.
Fontawesome isn’t part of enfold! or ?Google Fonts are loaded when used on the website. In my case, it is Opensans.
And I use Borlabs, too.
How I fixed the problem: download Opensans and upload it in Enfold. That works. I checked the server connection and it is safe – no connection to goole anymore. The font is loaded from the website server.
Yes, I saw it – it is Fontello – not Fontawesome… ;-)
