Use EXTERNALS fonts AT ALL TIMES!
Introduction
We no longer use 3rd party hosted fonts and install fonts locally instead.
Decision
Store fonts locally instead of using 3rd-party hosted fonts such as on Google Fonts.
Context
Using 3rd party hosted fonts such as through Google Fonts is against the law in Europe because of GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation).
Eliminates the need to rely on 3rd party services that could be unavailable.
Consequences
- Extra step to download fonts.
- Taking time to go through the setup process which is outlined in the wiki.
Exceptions
- Old project already using Google Fonts for websites not based in Europe.
