How do I find where a font is used

On one of my web sites, when I open it, it tells me:
The following Google Fonts are used in this project bit not installed:
Nunito Sans ExtraBold

Do you want to install the missung fonts authomatically
I always answer "Yes".

What I want to do is find where they are used and get rid of them. I've tried to do a global replace, but the message keeps appearing. So, how do I find where these fonts are being used?

Thanks

Alan

You can find the web fonts options in Tools -> Options -> Fonts ->Check for missing Google fonts when loading a project.

@Alan, I'm not sure there is an easy way inside WB to locate the object that may be using a particular font. Do you have extensions on the page? I would check those just in case the global replace doesn't change those.

I've had this happen to me and I will preview a page and then use the browser inspector to look and see if the code has been added to the page for the font. If it has, I then look thru the CSS to determine what object it is. Not necessarily the quickest way but it works.

Maybe you can use 'Global Replace' to replace the font?
Or else share a DEMO project so I can figure it out for you.

Pablo - it already does check for missing fonts when I load the project. That's how I know there's some missing. I can't create a 'demo' project because the whole point is that it's somewhere inside an existing project.

Crispy - thanks for the suggestion. What I might do before delving into CSS code is copy it to a dummy project and then remove pages until the problem goes away. Then I will know which page has it.

I meant, maybe you can use Global Replace tool to replace the fonts, so it no longer asks for it.

I have tried that and it makes no difference. So the fonts are somewhere that Global replace doesn't find, but the test to see what is missing does find.
