Local Fonts Error

Moo464

Hello Community,

I would like to embed the Google fonts used on my site locally so that they are not loaded from Google's servers when a page is requested. I have to do this because I am legally required to do so. Now when I set this in the theme settings and call the page, I get the following error message.

Failed to decode downloaded font: <URL>

How can I fix this error?

Thanks for your answers and help

Hi,

Does it appear on your website, or in the WP panel?

Did you use the option from the performance tab?

Best regards

Did you remove the access to your WP dashboard?

We tried to log in again with the credentials you sent, but they did not work this time (it worked on Friday).

Please, create an account again with the same credentials.

Also, the FTP credentials you have sent are not working.

Please, resend them.

Best regards

The WP dashboard access you have sent is working, but the FTP is not.

Did you ensure that the FTP credentials you sent are correct?

Can you send them one more time? But before doing that, please, test if they are correct.

The fonts are downloaded to your server, and everything seems to work fine now.

Please, check that.

Looks good so far. However, GET requests are still being sent to the Google servers for fonts. But I am obliged by the German data protection law to stop these requests. Is there a way to do this? 

Thanks a lot!

Phil

Most likely, it comes from one of the plugins like Slider Revolution.

Under the following link, you can find how to use the local fonts for that plugin:
