Google Web font issue

Unread post by ramya nair »

Hello,

I am using Roboto font in my Online help. To adhere with the GDPR laws, I followed the steps listed in the link - https://www.helpandmanual.com/news/2022 ... fonts-off/

But Roboto font doesn't appear in the machine where it is not installed.

I have followed the following:
Step 1 - Add GoogleFonts.css in the Baggage file. Please refer Image 1.
Step 2 - Download font file from zip and add to Baggage file. Please refer Image 2.
Step 3 - Add reference in _google_webfonts.html. Please refer Image 3.
Step 4 - Save and generate output. Roboto font doesnot display on the machines where the font is not installed.

What am I missing here. Please help.

Hi Ramya,

Did you also activate the OPT_WEBFONTS option? That is necessary for the references to your fonts to be included in the published version. After removing the reference to googleapis and replacing it with your local CSS file reference, turning that switch on simply activates your CSS file reference.
