WordPress.org Strongly Urges Theme Authors to Switch to Locally Hosted Webfonts
https://wptavern.comIn light of a recent German court case, which fined a website owner for violating the GDPR by using Google-hosted webfonts, WordPress.org’s themes team is updating its recommendations for hosting webfonts.
The Themes Team is also considering banning remotely hosted fonts moving forward and will discuss at the next meeting.
WordPress developer Xaver Birsak has created a small single-purpose plugin called Local Google Fonts that automatically detects Google font sources and gives users the option to download them and use them locally.
