Copypasta JS magic is easier than actually, you know, hosting everything
you want people to see.

You can have the font files on your website and embed them in pages.  No
big deal.

Just to follow up on this, I'm now hosting the fonts myself! (The font files  
themselves are on an Amazon S3 bucket, but the CSS file that points at them  
is now on the server).

Thanks again for the quality feedback :)

Noted! I've added a section to my blog's privacy policy accordingly:  
https://bobstechsite.com/privacy-policy/


Hopefully the fix just involves hacking the theme package I'm using to use  
locally-hosted versions of the fonts. :)

Re: [Trisquel-users] Community guidelines question

Thank you! :)

I can't speak for other people, but in my case the reason I'm using the  
Google fonts API is because it was already bundled with Ghost and the  
MIT-licensed theme I use with it.


The fonts themselves are licensed under the SIL Open Font License  
(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SIL_Open_Font_License), so I guess the main  
question that needs answering is whether fetching the fonts from Google's  
servers has an impact on privacy.


In my case there's some damage limitation because they're probably being  
fetched from Cloudflare's caches rather than directly from Google's mirrors!  
But if there is a compelling reason to replace them then I'm guessing it'd  
need me to learn Node, do some dev work and take a visit to the Open Font  
Library! (https://fontlibrary.org/)

If his voice is pleasant, Ill guess my voice is like snoring in a quiet  
almost noiseless room and you are trying to sleep off your hang over, and  
your headache is aggravated with my  loud snorting , lets not forget, my  
continuous smelly silent farts in motion.


to think of snowden, Are you wanting to have legal problems with the feds?  
This could be happening at the end of the month, when the democrats will try  
to shut down the government because of the new fiscal budget. and that is no  
joke For millions of Americans.

One more compatible, and alternative, way of using fonts in websites
(instead of (Google fonts API): use generic-family mainly. ;)

Youw website is also good but may I ask (genuine question) why do you think  
so many people use google fonts api? Is there really no alternative?

Re: [Trisquel-users] Community guidelines question

Fair enough. It doesn't deal *exclusively* with Trisquel, so I'll err on the  
side of caution and keep it in this thread so it can be buried/deleted. :D

[Trisquel-users] Community guidelines question

[bob]

Hello admins/moderator folk,

Basically I made a pilot episode for a free software-themed podcast over the  
weekend. I advocated Trisquel pretty hard in it! Is posting a link in a  
single forum post in case anyone's interested (or wants to point out mistakes  
to me) considered spam?


I read through the community guidelines document but I get the impression  
it's potentially a bit of a grey area, particularly for someone like me who's  
fairly new for the forums! I though it was probably best to double-check  
before annoying people. :)
