 * I installed the plugin and added the filters as desribed in [https://wordpress.org/support/topic/local-google-fonts-w-o-effect-under-vantage/](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/local-google-fonts-w-o-effect-under-vantage/)
 * If I select a non local font under theme design/fonts I still see requests towards
   fonts.gstatic.com and fonts.googleapis.com. This means the filters have no effect.
 * Do you have any hint for me?
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Favoid-loading-fonts-from-google%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)

 * Hi, thanks for posting your question.
 * YouTube calls the above mentioned scripts on pages such as your WAS IST page.
   On your home page where there are no YouTube videos (or Google Maps), I’m not
   seeing the above mentioned scripts in use.

 * Thanks your quick reply! You didn’t saw the requests because I used a local hosted
   font (Verena). I changed the font now to Raleway for test purposes and you should
   see the behavior.

 * Thanks for the update.
 * The version of Vantage you’re using has been discontiniued. You can switch to
   the version hosted on WordPress.org by downloading the theme ZIP file from [https://wordpress.org/themes/vantage/](https://wordpress.org/themes/vantage/)
   and installing it via Appearance > Themes > Add New > Upload Theme, overwriting
   the existing version when prompted. All formerly premium settings were moving
   into the version of Vantage on WordPress.org. Footer Attribution and Ajax Comments
   are the only two settings that were turned into SiteOrigin Premium Theme Addons.
