EU/Germany DSGVO / GDPR - replace Google fonts download to local Google fonts

Asked by Vernon Rehmann 2 years ago Last activity 2 years ago

I've issues with the following article:
https://www.joomshaper.com/documentation/sp-page-builder/google-fonts-and-dsgvo-gdpr

How do I replace the linked Google fonts with the excact downloaded local Google fonts.

In "Template styles" - under "my template" - under Typography I disabled everything

In Font Book I see my downloaded Google fonts.

I followed
"In SPPB Settings > Advanced > Disable Google Fonts: Off (grey) - otherwise, you cannot use fonts that you chose from the list of Google Fonts by "Font Book" feature. Don't worry only local fonts will be used."
BUT the moment I save the option and refresh the page it's back to ON (blue)

So what do I need to do to replace the fonts under Typography with the exactly the same one with the local Google fonts.

Thanks for your help

Hi there,

I appreciate you reaching out. I sincerely apologize for this oversight. Is it possible to share your font file with me? I will check your font in my end let you know.

Hi Vernon,

Quick Question:

In SP Page Buidler > Font Book - do you see installed by you fonts?

I talk about that guide:

https://www.joomshaper.com/documentation/sp-page-builder/google-fonts-and-dsgvo-gdpr#how-to-upload-custom-font-in-sp-page-builder-5x

I am wonder which method you decided to use to have Google Fonts loaded from your local server?

And yes, please write font name(s).

Purely for information:

There is now a significant judgement regarding GDPR and Google Fonts. These may be used.

The background to this is that you have to prove that the IP address is forwarded to Google and the plaintiff mentioned here did not succeed in doing so. It is also not possible to name the personal losses, so a warning for the use of Google Fonts is not legal. :) :)
