Disabling Google Fonts still leads to Google Fonts connections

saguaros

Hi kondrich I will update here when having news from the team. Regards

kondrich

Are there any updates on this issue?
The Munich Regional Court has ruled that the integration of dynamic content from US-services like Google Fonts without the user's consent is illegal and does not comply with the GDPR.

Hi kondrich

I will check this again and get back to you soon.

kondrich

Again: Any updates?

saguaros

kondrich I'm working on this, will get back to you shortly.

Maybe cache from your server side? I just disabled the Google Font and don't see the link to fonts.googleapis.com anymore.

Could you check again?

kondrich

saguaros Please see my post from September, 21st: T4 Framework 2.0.5 removed the connections to Google Fonts. This was not an issue since then.

However the site looks different when Google Fonts are disabled even tough local Google Fonts were selected in template (compare the screesnhots above).
Right now the site looks exactly like on September, 21st (a long time, hu?). But this is not Flix style.

saguaros

kondrich It due to the JCHOptimize extension which compresses files and may cache.

I just temporarily disabled compression from this extension, could you clear your browser's cache and check?

kondrich

saguaros This does not help. I tried this several times, believe me (again right now). And btw: Our test site has caching disabled, but it shows the same display issues not using the fonts as described last fall.

saguaros

kondrich Could you share screenshot of the font not loaded correctly?

Site as displayed in Firefox after purging Firefox cache:

Site as displayed in Google Chrome:

Here is what I can see in both Firefox and Chrome, the title now gets the font-family: Barlow Semi Condensed

kondrich

saguaros But why isn't it displayed like with Google Fontsd enabled (see first screenshot in initial post here or your demo site).

saguaros

kondrich Let me see and get back to you shortly.

Is there any news on this topic?

German and Austrian website operators are more and more getting adhortatory letters if they are using Google Fonts hosted by Google duet to GDPR. Self-hosting Google Fonts would avoid the exposure to such expensive experiences.

saguaros

Could you try to backup your site and update the latest version of T4 framework and template first?

Then try to disable the Google font in template settings and see how it goes.

kondrich

I am already on the latest versions:
T4 Framework 2.2.2
Flix 2.0.0

I disabled Google Fonts yesterday anyway.

I also got such an letter to pay yesterday as hundreds or thousands of others in Austria.

We're having issue with our server and this update service is temporarily down, our team are working hard to bring it back ASAP.

About the font, I checked the homepage on your site and the font seems to be fine:

Could you tell me of how it should be so I can check? And share the FTP account of your site also.
