How to disable Google Fonts?

Marketing & Content Hub GDPR

Hi there,

we are using the Hubspot Website Manager to build a relatively simple website. In order to comply with the new GDPR laws in Europe we want to disable Google Fonts from loading on our pages.

In order to do so I have switched the default font to Arial. After that I edited the fields.json file via Design Manager as follows:

- removed all parts with “font_set”: “GOOGLE”

- changed the font to Arial

- set “load_external_fonts” to false

In spite of these changes, when I check the source code of our pages and it still includes the calls to Google’s font sites.

Does anybody know how to get rid of these calls?

Thank you Karsten :slightly_smiling_face: I was indeed able to find the solution in one of the comments there, the Google Fonts link needed to be removed from the layout/base.html file.
