Google Font Backup

    I need to specify a non-google backup font as some networks are blocking access to Google fonts. I have the Redux framework installed and under theme options > Typography settings, there is no option available for a ‘backup font family’. I know this a available option if it is enabled via a config file. 

    'font-backup' => true,
// Select a backup non-google font in addition to a google font

    I have NOT added my own config file to my child theme. Is this the only way to accomplish this?

    In addition, I have downloaded the Google font I need and tried loading it from my server using @font-face in my child theme’s CSS file, but it seems Redux overrides it.

    As I’m working through this, I’ve discovered it’s not only my added fonts that aren’t loading, but also the icon fonts included with the Evolve parent theme. The icon shows the value rather than the image, and when inspecting the element in the console, it shows: “Failed to decode downloaded font” for both my added font and the fontawesome that are included with Evolve.
