    Hi Frank,
    i found out, that switching off google fonts in your settings will increase google pagespeed insights points extremely. but i would like to use a google font and so i tried to load it in the head-section of the header.php, without result, maybe because i didn′t remove the link from where it is located now. should be in the functions.php, but isn′t there.
    Could you please give me a hint, how to manage the google font api in the rihgt way for better results in pagespeed insight.
    thanks a lot for your really fast support!
    Ronni

    hope this helps,

    Came across this:

    localfont

    One negative is that you can’t do subsetting etc.

    The site is down so I can’t verify. I assume it gives the latin subset only.

    My apologies.

    Had another look at localfont. I think it serves font files meant for Mac.

    What Google does is that it serves different fonts not only depending on the browser but also the OS. Mac doesn’t require hinting so it serves fonts with smaller size.

    But localfont seems to use Mac font files instead of Windows.

    This problem is identified and solved with Google Fonts helper

    What I personally do is use fonts loaded for different Windows browsers and collect the urls and make a @font-face syntax using it. But that’s tedious and Google Fonts helper is handy.
