One of the fonts in my theme is returning a 404 (see link below). How can I fix this?

Thanks.
Hi there,
go to Customizer > General and chnage the Icon Type to SVG. This will remove the need for that font.
Ok, thanks. I'll give that a try.
You're welcome
So this 404 error remains an issue on my site that I have not managed to get rid of and so the 404 persists. Any ideas or suggestions?
Thanks
Hi Jill,
That's odd. The suggestion by David completely eliminates the font request for generatepress.woff2.
May we know where exactly you are getting this error?
The url below continues to show up in my website auditor program and in core web vital tests I do via
https://www.webpagetest.org/.

Does this help clarify?
Thank you.
Hi Jill,
It helps. However, I'm only seeing a Google Font 404ing.
I'm not seeing generatepress.woff2. See: https://share.getcloudapp.com/d5unGjyY
For reference, can you take a screenshot of the error from your end?

Hi Fernando,
Here is a webpagtst filmstrip of a performance test. On it, you'll see the generatpress.woff2
Thank you.
Hi there,
So there is this Preload link on your site.
<link rel="preload" href="/wp-content/themes/generatepress/fonts/generatepress.woff2" as="font" type="font/woff2" crossorigin="">
What optimization plugins are you using ? Can you check it settings and remove any font preloads, then clear any Caches.
Oh, thank you! I found the preload link and removed it. The 404 is fixed.
You guys are the best. Thank you so much!
Glad we can be of help!
