Should be an automatic integration feature rather than doing it manually.
Louis Reingold
Basically, Breakdance already supports loading Google Fonts (or fonts from any other provider) locally.
Christian Wußmann
Louis Reingold: is this answer based on your other answer to use the local-google-fonts plugin? or is there an option directly in breakdance I missed so far? (coming from several avada-projects, there is just a switch to active to load all of this locally)
Dan
Louis Reingold In practice, it is still the case that woff2 is unfortunately not yet reliably supported, which is why woff is currently recommended (as of March 2024).
Louis Reingold
Also, we already support custom self-hosted fonts from any provider.
As another poster already stated, just go to Preferences -> Custom Fonts and then upload your WOFF2 files that you download from Google or anywhere else.

Why is https://wordpress.org/plugins/local-google-fonts/ not the solution?
Does anyone have a legitimate reason not to use https://wordpress.org/plugins/local-google-fonts/?
"The exact same code should be copied and pasted into Breakdance because I don't want to install a plugin" is not a legitimate answer. The affect on your server, site performance, etc. is EXACTLY THE SAME whether the code lives in /wp-content/plugins/breakdance/ or /wp-content/plugins/somewhere-else/
Glenn Jansen
Louis Reingold: the base of my answer is the same. I want to keep the amount of different plugins to a minimum. The why though...
Because developers can get lazy, abandon their products, etc. and the more plugins you use the higher the risk of outdated plugins creating vulnerabilities.
There are ways to monitor this but blegh...

I usually using Local fonts -plugin with elementor when want to transfer to local fonts. Working great :) https://wordpress.org/plugins/local-google-fonts/

PLEASE deliver the users from the burden of having to manually download the fontsets through a obscure webfont downloader helper webapp and then having to recreate each font in breakdance only to manually autistically setup and upload each an every fontweight and do it all again for italics. How we would LOVE this to be a feature that requires only a checkbox to be ticked.

Also GDPR friendly

I know it's oft asked, and the response is 'they are not loaded if you don't use them'... but... It's proving very hard to remove them. On a recent page-speed test it found roboto and lato from google-fonts... I don't use either... I suspect its the captcha, which I've removed. But lato remains. So an explicit 'NO google fonts' that blocked the calls would be very useful.
Andrzej Dubiel
Mike Smith: This looks like a bug. Can you provide more details on this in our bug tracker. We would like to know where the Lato is coming from. https://github.com/soflyy/breakdance-bugs/issues
Mike Smith
Andrzej Dubiel: Apologies, I forgot this ticket. I resolved the issue - no bug - just a deeply buried call to Lato.
Andrzej Dubiel
Mike Smith: No worries. If you have any other issues or suggestions please let us know. Thanks.

Isn't this already available?
Jan Girndt
Naoufel Tarchoul: It is. Just under Preferences -> custom fonts. Upload your woff2 files and you are good to go. Maybe Dan means some DSGVO topic: DISABLE google fonts from google server, so one has to upload them locally.
D
Dan
Jan Girndt: exactly. It's nice using Google fonts, but to be gdpr friendly we need to decouple them from Google servers
Dominik Rosenberg
Naoufel Tarchoul: You can download a google font set and upload it as a custom font in breakdance, uploading .woff files for each weight/italic subset manually. Would be really convenient if this was an integrated feature.
robotdance
Dan: You can download the google fonts (google font helper) and upload them through breakdance… custom font… what‘s the Problem?
D
Dan
robotdance: I know this but a modern builder should be gdpr friendly out the box
robotdance
Dan: that’s why you should download and upload them in your instance. That’s the best gdpr friendly solution… and use the hook to disable google fonts. Then your customer could only use the uploded fonts.
