Google fonts and typography options

yanliom

Hello,

I have faced two problems with the typography under "Theme settings":
a) How can I add greek support for Google Fonts?
b) How can I empty the field "Special Font"?

Can I empty/disable the fonts sections so that I can use my links in the page header?

Thank you,
Yannis

yanliom a) How can I add greek support for Google Fonts?

I don't get your question here, could you share screenshot of how you want it should be?

#115777 b) How can I empty the field "Special Font"?

You can remove this field by editing the file:

/templates/ja_landscape/templateDetails.xml

comment or remove this snippet of code:

<fields name="typelist-theme">
	<fieldset name="special_fonts" label="Special Font" type="legend" subgroup="1" icon="font" >
		<field type="googlefonts" name="special_font_family" label="Font Signature" default="" class="test" btn="special-font"/>
	</fieldset>
</fields>

Hello,

let me be more clear:

a) How can I use the Greek subset of Google fonts in JA Landscape and T4 framework? Take a look of the proper URL: https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Open+Sans&display=swap&subset=greek

b) What if I don't need NO Google fonts neither custom fonts. There is NO option to opt-out from loading extra fonts. The solution you offered is to "hide" the fonts field from template options if I understand well.

Thank you,
Yannis

Hi Yannis,

a) There is no option for subset like that but you can load it via custom css file with:

@import url('font_path');

and on frontend, you can call this font as you wish.

For example: https://prnt.sc/rlp6ti

@import url('https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Open+Sans&display=swap&subset=greek');

body {
  font-family: 'Open Sans';
  font-size: 16px;
}

b) I understand your idea that you don't want to load google font directly like that but at this moment, it can't be deleted, you can add your desired via custom fonts tab and it will replace the current font. The important thing is that if on frontend you don't use google font on any part of your site, it will not be loaded on frontend.

I will also pass to T4 developer for further improvement on this, I think a new option for users to decide to load google font or not will be better.

Hello,

I don't understand why I should load three (3) Google Font families on T4 framework with no option to opt-out (clear the options) and no option for subsets.

The problem is, even if I override them, they continue to be loaded!

Thank you,
Yannis

Could you share the credentials of your site and the page that the font (which you don't want to use) still loads?

Hello,

I have the website on localhost. Whatever I tried the google fonts url in the <head> section of the website still loads.

Is there any way to NOT load the <head> url for google fonts?

Thank you,
Yannis

You mean that you don't load this font but it's still loaded on frontend?

Could you use Akeeba backup and send me a backup of your site? you can share to this email: sales@joomlart.com , I will restore and check in my local and see what's wrong.

Hello,

I still can't find a way to completely disable google fonts in JA Landscape T4 Framework.
I uploaded the website and I added the url and admin credentials on this discussion.

I'm waiting for your feedback,
Yannis

HI Yannis,

Thanks for the info, let me check and will get back to you.

yanliom

Hello, do you have any updates on the issue?

Thank you,

I checked in template option and saw that you're loading this font "Alegreya Sans"

and it's loaded on frontend also.

If you don't want to use this font, pls select your own custom font / or other font as you wish.

Then let me know if the google font is still loaded on frontend, I will check for you.

yanliom

Hello,

let me explain: I don't want to use Google Fonts neitner Custom fonts for any of the three options: Typography, Heading, Special Fonts.

Thank you!

I backup this file: plugins/system/t4/src/t4/Document/Template.php

and update a new file to not load Google Font on your site

Could you check it now?

templatephp.zip

Is there any way to achieve this without modifying core t4 files? e.g. template overrides etc.

saguaros

yanliom

This belongs to the core of T4 so it needs to change that core file, at this moment, there is no way to override it. I will forward to the team for consideration of this google font feature.

Hello,

I hope you address this problem properly as soon as possible. The solution proposed here is a hack.

I can't see why we should always load -3- custom font families and increase page loading times because we have no other option :-((
T4 should be better than its predecessor....

Thank you,
Yannis

I forwarded to the team so let's wait for their decision.

Cheers!

Hello, do you have any news on the problem?

I'm ready to start with a second project using T4 but I really hesitate to edit a core file again...
In the long term, it will be a nightmare.

Thank you,
Yannis

It depends on the T4 team, I don't have final decision on this feature so kindly wait.
