First of all congratulation for Bloc 3! I use Blocs since the early Version 1 and I’m really impressed about what you developed so far…
Unfortunately, I have to report an issue regarding the use of local hosted fonts:
I removed all Google Web Fonts (in Blocs 2.6.5 and 3.04) under „Preferences > Manage Fonts“ and I disabled „Enable Google Fonts“ under Project Settings. I’m using only Local Web Fonts (in this case Roboto) downloaded under: https://google-webfonts-helper.herokuapp.com/fonts
Despite that, there are still 3 third-party request from google affecting my website (see below).
I checked the generated HTML code for index.html and I discover the following line of code (see below).
Is this suppose to look like that? How can I get rid of the google requests?
I had a similar issue in Blocs 2 but I’m not sure its an issue with Blocs itself but if Blocs is set to Disable Google Fonts, then Blocs should revert all text to a local web font at least? I used local web fonts, then I switched back to Google Fonts, and then after I switched back, some fonts didn’t seem to fully switch, and I had several different fonts in my project I had no idea about, with google trying to fetch a font and then timing out or something.
My only fix was to change the Style.css and rename the font family to the correct one, that was until I found the font hidden in a paragraph somewhere which I immediately changed.
Double check your project, every detail of it and make sure all the fonts are selected as the Local Web Font Roboto.
Interesting, thanks for bringing this to our attention. I have a question though. If I remove all web-based fonts and install local funds do I still need to be connected to the Internet in order to use Blocs 3?
Short of manually removing that link tag in the header after export, I’m wondering if maybe your local web font paths weren’t correct and maybe Blocs is adding the google path as a fallback, just so it will work. I don’t really know, just guessing at this point
And the dropdown really should say “Self-Hosted Web Fonts” - I’m a stickler for detail
Hi Bill,
Thank you for pointing the dropdown aspect out. In my both versions (2.6.5 and 3.0.4) it says “Local Web Fonts”!
Am I the only one with this particularity?
