In Customization > Typography. I am using Questrail font but GeneratePress.woff2 is loading. Is it a fallback font or Is there any case. Can I remove the extra font? Thank you View post on imgur.com December 13, 2019 at 2:00 am #1102939 Daniel You can switch to icon type SVG (Customizer -> General -> Icon Type SVG). Then, the font is not loaded.

Works like a charm. So, what if we host font locally? Will it cause a problem in the future? December 13, 2019 at 4:38 am #1103084 DavidStaff Customer Support The generatepress.woff2 is served locally – the SVG method is the best route to go. The other google font you can of course serve locally if you want: https://docs.generatepress.com/article/adding-local-fonts/ December 13, 2019 at 4:47 am #1103093 Suraj Katwal which is the best format to use while using font locally? woff or woff2? December 13, 2019 at 11:44 am #1103599 DavidStaff Customer Support WOFF2 has better compression but unlike WOFF is not supported by Internet Explorer. To use WOFF2 you would need to include a supported font type.

Do I need to use woff for Internet Explorer? Thank you December 14, 2019 at 8:23 am #1104308 DavidStaff Customer Support For IE 10 and 11 yes, WOFF will do. December 14, 2019 at 9:14 am #1104349 Bas You could take a look at Google Font Helper. You can download Google fonts and it gives you al the info needed to host fonts locally with support for various browsers. December 14, 2019 at 9:19 am #1104359 Suraj Katwal Thanks, I have already implemented Local Fonts on my website.
