Support for local installed fonts

[treeandcoffee]

I would like to have an option for local uploaded fonts instead of CDN loaded fonts, due to GDPR.

I switched all the themes to use Bunny Fonts (instead of Google Fonts) in a recent release. Bunny Fonts is GDPR friendly.

The only reason you would want to load fonts locally would be for faster page loading, but the gain is very minimal. All the SynaptikCMS themes already score 99-100 on Google PageSpeed because they are well optimized.

However you can easily self-host fonts in any theme:

1. In header.php, remove the Bunny Fonts <link> tag:

<link href="https://fonts.bunny.net/css?family=inter:300,400,500,600,700&display=swap" rel="stylesheet">

2. Add your font file(s) (.woff2 recommended) to your theme folder, e.g. theme/my-theme/fonts/

3. In style.css, remove the @import line at the top:

@import url('https://fonts.bunny.net/css2?family=...');

4. In style.css, declare your font with @font-face:

@font-face {
  font-family: 'Inter';
  src: url('../fonts/Inter-Variable.woff2') format('woff2');
  font-weight: 100 900;
  font-style: normal;
  font-display: swap;
}

Ok thats an easy change and do-able. The purpose of local fonts is cool if you use custom fonts and it is a easy way to have no connection to other parties within the GDPR.

It works fine.
