The Odoo website module uses several Google fonts, hosted by Google servers. Is there a way to override this and host the fonts locally?

A quick and dirty fix:

Comment out in /addons/website/static/src/scss/website.scss:

$-seen-urls: ();
@each $alias, $key in $o-font-aliases-to-keys {
$-url: o-get-font-info($alias, 'url');
@if $-url and index($-seen-urls, $-url) == null {
$-seen-urls: append($-seen-urls, $-url);
// @import url("https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=#{unquote($-url)}&display=swap");
}
}

Hello, from Odoo 15, we added a toggle to select if the google font should be served by Google server or by the Odoo server:

I found this tool (no affiliation and unfortunately only in German) helpful to check if all requirements are fulfilled (i.e., check if font is loaded from the Google servers, or not):

Hi to all
To fix this you can deploy this module :

You will have to load the font files in your static directory and include it as an asset by inheriting the web front end assets xml file then applying the fonts using a css.

Hi guys, is there any update here? Facing the same issue and interested in how you solved this :)

Thanks Mario :)
Then we'll patch odoo here

Is there an upstream patch for this already. This is becoming a serious threat for German customers. See https://www.datenschutzticker.de/2022/03/einsatz-von-google-fonts-ohne-einwilligung-ist-rechtswidrig/

There is a module for replacing Google fonts with BunnyFonts:

mh thanks but that doesn'r really solve the core problem for the OLG Munich but should be sufficiently good to avoid trouble with lawyers for a while at least ;-)

Even if the fonts are hosted in the EU, the fonts are fetched from a 3rd party. To make 100% sure, put the fonts locally within an addon on the Odoo server.

yes @mario and this one doesn't work without having a doorkeeper route in Odoo as it is an integral part of each website rendered and fetched even before any consent can be given

Besides that oi think thats a core problem to Odoo, that Odoo S.A. should be solving. And i am pretty sure they will as all SaaS instances are similarly affected

Hi!


I created a module that automatically hosts all the Google fonts used in the website module and replaces the links in the asset bundle with external references to the Google fonts with internal links pointing to the hosted fonts. In this way, privacy problems are mitigated and the solution is more compliant with the European regulation for the GDPR. It works for odoo 18. It's free.


Search this app in the odoo app store: local_google_fonts
