That's ... interesting. I must admit, I think somewhere in the back of my mind I knew that, but I'm so used to font services requiring to be used remotely, I hadn't even really considered that. So there's absolutely no breach of any kind of law or terms if you host them locally? That could be a game-changer, thanks!
- onion2k 6y agoSo there's absolutely no breach of any kind of law or terms if you host them locally? Open source doesn't necessarily mean free to use for whatever you want. Which licence a font on Google Fonts uses varies - common ones are Apache and Open Font Licence, but you should check the licence file in any font pack you download.
- ficklepickle 6y agoYou can 'npm install' any of the google fonts, there are a variety of options like webpack plugins. The only thing you miss out on is apparently they serve slightly different variants to different OS/device types if you use google directly. Personally, I avoid third-party requests. CDNs are so HTTP1.1.
