In child theme font “Inter var” load twice

Hi Michael, what does your functions.php file look like?

Hi Jarret,

thank you for your answer. That’s a good question, but I definitely don’t load fonts in my functions.php.

I took a look at the style.css file of the parent theme (Twenty Twenty) and noticed that the “Inter var” is actually loaded via stylesheet. There I removed the @font-face rule and the result is that it is really only loaded once.

I wonder, however, where else is the font loaded? I searched the theme files and found nothing or I missed something.

At least the double loading is now eliminated, even if the way is not correct.

After I observed the loading behavior of the font again, I noticed that the font “Inter var” was not loaded after all. A very strange behavior, because I had deactivated the browser cache when the developer tools were open, hmm. Also Autoptimze and the WordPress Cache was cleared.

So, I’ll close the topic.

The cause doesn’t seem to be the Twenty Twenty theme.

It is probably a problem with the current Firefox 70.0.1 or with its developer tools. Google Chrome loads all fonts only once. Also tests with Pingdom and GTmetrix show the fonts only once.

this is the only thread i’ve found talking about font issues in Twenty Twenty, i have an issue with Chrome (macos 10.12, chrome 78.0.3904.108).

the font doesn’t seem to load. the full page flashes up for a split second (using system fonts i guess) then most of the text disappears from the page after it tries to load the inter var font.

any thoughts? everything seems fine on safari and firefox, although maybe they’re simply not removing the text when they can’t load the font

That’s a very different issue @joshr almost the opposite of what’s being discussed here.
