5 Sterne – wohlverdient
by furkansenturk·12 months ago
unkompliziert und übersichtlich- was will man mehr bei diesem lästigen Thema.
Einwandfrei
by reneewelz·1 year ago
Wir haben das schon eine Weile im Einsatz, heute fällt mir auf, noch gar nicht bewertet. Deswegen schon mal 5 Sternen, weils still und leise einfach tut was es soll. 😉
Works like a charm

It works like a charm. All who got problems getting it working:
In settings > Google Fonts, tick the “Load Fonts automatically” checkbox and click on the “Reload Fonts” button. Then save the changes. That’s it.
You will see in your browsers inspector > Network that the fonts are hosted locally (at least here it is)
very bad

Excellent plugin!
