Alternative type for the site

    Hi, everyone.

    I have a question.
    I created a child theme and I defined different types of letter for the menu, bottom of page, etc (the non-serif ones). But the theme downloads two fonts from google: “quicksand” and “playfair display”. The one I am NOT using is Quicksand.

    My question is: how do I prevent quicksand font from being downloaded from google? Using only files in the chil theme. I don’t want to edit function.php.

    Because it is a waste of time in page load, since i am not using it (and it is not showing properly, either, a problem that was reported by other users).

    For those who have the same trouble with quicksand font, here is the font stack I did, to replace “Quicksand, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;” i did this:

    font-family: Optima, Candara, "Nimbus Sans", "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif ;

    Thanks in advance for helping.

    Look at the “spun_google_fonts” function in the functions.php file of Spun: http://themes.svn.wordpress.org/spun/2.0.2/functions.php

    It enqueues the font files, therefore you can dequeue them in your (Child Theme) functions.php file: http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/wp_dequeue_style

    Thank you for sucj«h a short answer, Andrew.
    just let me know if i can get it right, since this is the kind of thing i can’t really test, I think.

    This is the code for the font quicksand in functions.php:

    wp_register_style(
		'spun-quicksand',
		"$protocol://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Quicksand:300",
		array(),
		'20121005'
	);

    And this is the instruction from the site you gave me:

    <?php wp_dequeue_style( $handle ) ?>

    So, I should do like this in my styles.css:
    <?php wp_dequeue_style( $$protocol://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Quicksand:300 ) ?>

    Or something else?

    The ‘$handle‘ is the first parameter in the ‘wp_register_style‘ function: http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/wp_register_style

    Therefore the handle you should use is ‘spun-quicksand‘:

    wp_dequeue_style( 'spun-quicksand' );

    Thank you very much, Andrew.
    I have something more to ask you, because of the link to spun 2.0.2 but it will be in another post.

    Cheers

    Phew luckily the font stuff was the same in the Spun version 1.0.7 functions.php file as the 2.0.2, so that didn’t lead you on a goose chase or break your site.

    But there are other noticeable differences so be aware of this: http://www.diffchecker.com/6dg1cffm (v.1.0.7 on the left | v.2.0.2 on the right).
