 * Hello!
 * First of all, I would like to apologise if this is a stupid question – but I 
   have not been able to fix it myself and I have done a fair bit of searching for
   the answer (including this forum & the help section of this plugin).
 * I’m working on this plugin on my staging site before deploying it to the live
   site. In the live site (by looking at the network log of DevTools) I can see 
   there is a request to [https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Indie+Flower](https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Indie+Flower).
   
   This is not a request on the staging site with FVM, obviously due to the combining&
   minification – and it is this that causes an issue – I presume. But neither adding
 * > [https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Indie+Flower](https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Indie+Flower)
 * nor
 * > fonts.googleapis.com
 *  to either the Ignore or Remove CSS works to get this font back.
 * I’ve also tried enabling “Merge Fonts & Icons separately” which didn’t work.
 * Am I doing something wrong here? Please advice. Much appreciated.
 * All the best,
    Aidan

 * When combining css or separating fonts, there will no longer be calls to fonts.
   googleapis.com. FVM will read that font and merge it, thus removing the third
   party call.
 * You cannot ignore that setting, unless you disable css processing.
    Nevertheless,
   merging google fonts should cause zero issues, so what are you facing?

 * Thanks Raul!
 * The issue was that the Google Font was not loading, I was able to fix this by
   just downloaded the font and uploading it to my server and calling it there as
   opposed to the Google API.
 * Thanks for the explanation eitherway!
