*** SOLVED *** Font Installed but WWB says No

[BazzaBoy]

I have just installed V19.

I have installed the Roboto Condensed font on my computer, but when I open the wbs file, WWB gives me a warning and offers to install the font automatically.

I did not have this issue with previous versions.

I can't figure out how to attach screenshots from my computer to this post, but you get what I mean.

Thanks for any solution.

Best Regards.

To use the font in a website, you will have to install it via the Google Font manager, otherwise the software will not know that it's a Google font.

You may have installed an old version of the Roboto font. The new version of Roboto is a "variable font". WWB uses the new version.
So, if you have installed the old version, then this may cause conflict on your system.

I uninstalled all Roboto fonts and installed all the new ones.

Problem solved.

Thanks Pablo.

Host Google fonts locally for better performance and privacy
Normally, Google Fonts are loaded from Google servers. This means that an extra CSS file needs to be loaded and two extra DNS lookups (fonts.googleapis.com and font.gstatic.com). When you do host Google Fonts locally, all the requests will come from the same domain as your other assets. Also, there may be privacy concerns when using Google services. By hosting the fonts locally, Google will not be able to track your visitors.

And according this website's information https://cookie-script.com/blog/google-fonts-and-gdpr

If you are using Google Fonts from Google servers, your website needs to have a Cookie Banner. Websites that use cookies or other tracking or analytics technologies are required to obtain the user’s explicit consent to manage their personal data.

Google Fonts code is a code provided by a third party, in this case- Google, which needs users' IP addresses to provide a code. IP addresses and other users' personal data are collected with the help of cookies. To use Third-Party Cookies, you need to get user consent. So, change the initial Google Fonts code to get user consent with CookieScript.

For example, change the default Roboto code from:

Code: Select all

<link data-href="http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Roboto:100"  
rel="stylesheet" type="text/css">
Change the code to modified Google Fonts Roboto code:

<link data-href="http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Roboto:100" 
data-cookiescript="accepted" data-cookiecategory="functionality" 
rel="stylesheet" type="text/css">

If you are using Google Fonts from Google servers, you also need to have a Privacy Policy since Google Fonts are bound by Google’s generic API terms of service.

Google Fonts do not drop cookies on your website, but some website users' data (IP addresses) are collected, stored, and may be processed for analytical purposes. Google could also track users via the users' browser fingerprinting in combination with other Google services your website uses. Even if Google Fonts are not cookies, you have to inform users about the possible tracking technologies on your website and obtain consent to use them. Thus, it is recommended to have a Cookie Policy as well.

If Google Fonts are hosted locally on your servers and you don’t use any other Google service on your website, it is not necessary to have a Cookie Banner or a Cookie Policy on your website.

Use CookieScript Consent Management Platform to manage user consent and keep your website GDPR compliant. Our CMP helps to create a Privacy Policy and also a Cookie Policy.

How do Google Fonts violate GDPR?
Google Fonts do not set any cookies. However, it is a web font service that provides API to deliver font files. Google Fonts collects user requests, retrieves files from its servers, and delivers them to the end users to generate fonts. In this process, Google’s server records the user’s IP address and may use for analytical purposes.

According to GDPR, an IP address is personal information which can be used for identifying the user. Thus, Google Fonts violates GDPR by collecting and sharing personal information with third-party services without user consent.

Just for the sake of information. The policies may change depending on new laws or policies so stay up to date about it.
