Hello

We have an issue with the google fonts in Mahara,

In some classroooms, we have trouble getting the google fonts to load in Mahara.

I thought google fonts were called in our theme (Essential.. by the way, we'll switch to another theme very soon as Essential is no longer maintained).  But, when i search for "googleapis" in Mahara code, it seems that the Google fonts are called in Mahara core. Is it correct ? If it is, how to deactivate Google Fonts ?

Thanks

Hello Emilie,

You can install additional Google fonts in Mahara. See http://manual.mahara.org/en/1.10/administration/config_site.html#fonts That's probably what you found in the core code. However, that doesn't have anything to do with the Essential theme. That has its font embedded separately to my knowledge. You would need to remove the fonts pulling functionality directly from the theme.

Cheers

Hello Emilie,

The font Oswald is part of the Essential theme like in Moodle. It tries to get it from there. That is not a core Mahara issue.

You can find the reference to the font in static/style/style.css and in templates/header/head.tpl you find the link to that font. You could download the font itself, like it being done for font Awesome and then reference it locally to avoid long waiting time for the Google server.

Hope that helps to pin it down.

Cheers
