Bug, wrong same file for all weights used

Hi There!

Thanks for your feedback!

The different font weights actually use the same font file. LGF just named it with *-300-* as it’s the first occurrent to make it unique to other files.

Please check the original source

https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Merriweather+Sans:300,400,400italic,600,700%7cArmata:300,400,400italic,600,700

and search for this font source

https://fonts.gstatic.com/s/merriweathersans/v22/2-c99IRs1JiJN1FRAMjTN5zd9vgsFHX1QjXp8Bte.woff2

You can find them multiple times in the source. LGF basically just replaces the links to these files to the ones which were downloaded before.

Hope that helps!

Original source shows different src url for 300, 400, 600, 700 here:

/* latin */
@font-face {
font-family: 'Merriweather Sans';
font-style: normal;
font-weight: 300;

/* latin */
@font-face {

Looks like you are getting a different version as I do. Google servers serve a certain type based on the browser agent.

Note that most modern browsers support unicode range but your’s maybe not.

Here’s what I get and LGF:

/* latin */
@font-face {
  font-family: 'Merriweather Sans';
  font-style: normal;
  font-weight: 300;

}

Have simply not quoted the unicode-range and closing } char in above examples.

Using Firefox 108.0, latest release.

Also getting different .woff2 files for 300, 400, 600, 700 at google-webfonts-helper service.

Edit: Seems your plugin uses hardcoded user agent for Apple to get the Google stylesheet while the above widely used service uses an older Firefox ua, probably due to reasons, see also comments there.
