# Please change to https for Google Fonts call

 * Dear developers of the theme,
 * One of my websites has been using (a child theme based on) the excellent Surfarama
   theme as parent theme for years now. I still think it is a great theme and suits
   our community’s needs just fine.
 * However, each time after a parent theme update, my site ends up with an invalid
   SSL ‘mixed content’ situation because the Surfarama theme loads some Google Fonts
   assets by http instead of https.
 * In the Surfarama theme’s styles.css at the top some Google fonts are loaded directly
   from within the css:
 *     ```
       @import url(http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Open+Sans:300,400,400italic,700);
       @import url(http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Open+Sans:800);
       ```
   
 * A quick fix would be:
    `@import url(https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Open
   +Sans:300,400,400italic,700,800);`
 * This should work just fine for sites that are served over http instead of https.
 * Thanks!
    Sander
