   I accidentally a Font Degooglifier:
   https://git.occrp.org/libre/fonts-degooglifier

   I was sick and tired of having to manually degooglify fonts, so I made this. Seems to work. Handles both local files and URLs.

   Perhaps somebody finds it useful.

     @rysiek Something that could be useful:

     use hueristics upon the filenames to fix the @font-face rules so they declare the same font family but different font weights, styles, etc.

     It always annoys me that Google fonts doesn't declare their @font-face rules properly, in the way that works best for designers and browsers. That they confuse the concepts of font files and font families.

     Humm... Currently Fonts Degooglifier works by creating a copy of the CSS file and working on that copy.

     I am starting to think it should instead create a backup and work on the original.

     I wanted to go slow and not break things, but it does seem more intuitive.

     Phew! Fonts in 3 @OCCRP projects ungooglified! Easy, since now I have the right tool for the job. ;)

     1. Sandcastle property map:
     https://cdn.occrp.org/projects/sandcastle/en/index.html
     Related investigation:
     https://www.occrp.org/en/goldensands/

     2. Libre code if anyone wants to make a similar map (also ungooglified now):
     https://git.occrp.org/libre/property-map

     3. Putin's Circle:
     https://cdn.occrp.org/projects/putinandtheproxies/en/
     Related investigation:

     (this one does not have a libre code thingy... sorry)

     @rysiek On a related topic: Does using Google Fonts break GDPR?

     @jacek I would say it breaks GDPR if you don't inform your users about it.

     @rysiek This also my opinion (however since informed consent should be given **before** accessing `fonts.google.com` it really means that it breaks/bends GDPR almost always).

     Some lawyer I know insists that it **just** needs to be deep in privacy policy.

     However I managed to get decision to remove google fonts from internal cookiecutter template citing --- well we have no privacy policy in this template either ;) (and apart of google fonts this side IMO doesn't require user consent).

     @jacek there we go. Here's a toot for everyone saying "#GDPR doesn't work".

     You are not the first person to tell me they are removing some privacy-invading tech due to GDPR. Well done! :)

     Looks excellent and useful! It's such a pain to do this manually, so - I admit - one defaults to just leaving the calls to Google fonts there

     @giocomai yeah, same here. Happy you find it useful. Suggestions and patches welcome!

     @rysiek Well first they take down google and facebook general privacy violations. Only then someone will go against random sites using google fonts . . . (unless someone actually renders "constent page" without loading them).

     @jacek sure, but random sites moving away from Google Fonts are *already* a measurable improvement of users privacy.
