-------------------------------------
Summary: Whisker - Replace externally loaded fonts Mate SC and
Overlock with locally hosted ones to comply with privacy regulations
Key: RAT-360
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/RAT-360
Project: Apache Rat
Issue Type: Task
Components: site
Affects Versions: 0.16
Reporter: Philipp Ottlinger
Assignee: Philipp Ottlinger
Fix For: 0.16.1
Due to
[https://privacy.apache.org/faq/committers.html#can-i-use-google-fonts]
we should replace the
{code:html}
<head>
<![CDATA[<link href="https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Mate+SC";
type="text/css" rel="stylesheet" />]]>
</head>
{code}
snippets in all webpages with a locally hosted version.
This applies to all of Creadur's projects:
[https://whimsy.apache.org/site/project/creadur]
h2. Font Mate SC / Overlock
licensed under [https://openfontlicense.org/]
is part of the google-main-fonts:
{code:bash}
fonts-main/ofl/matesc$ ls
DESCRIPTION.en_us.html MateSC-Regular.ttf METADATA.pb OFL.txt upstream.yaml
{code}
- no attribution required
- 2.1 Can I make webpages using these fonts?
Yes! Go ahead! You could ask visitors to download and install the fonts, but
loading the fonts dynamically as webfonts through CSS @font-face declarations
is a much better method. The referenced fonts can be hosted on the same server
as other site assets and content, or loaded from a separate webfont service.
This is recommended and explicitly allowed by the licensing model because it is
distribution.
