Plugin slows site w/ Google Font, two CSS files

    The required Google Font Yanone Kaffesatz was an unwelcome surprise.

    Line 82 in /includes/class.themes.php has:

    > array ( ‘font’, “$scheme://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Yanone+Kaffeesatz” ),

    I’ve had to manually edit this file to remove this font. For something with a brand of “Simple” as in “Simple Lightbox” adding a Google font is an unecessary complication. Please consider removing this, or making it optional. People are fully capable of customizing styles (if they are exposed effectively).

    As well, using the default-light theme, there were two CSS files required for download:

    > /themes/default/css/style.css
    > /themes/baseline/css/style.css

    While it is understandable there are different theme options, requiring two files to download seems unnecessary, and again adds to load.

    This is a support request to make the Google Font optional, and the two CSS files into a single file. Thank you for your time.

    I strongly support Jeff’s proposal. The choice of a particular Google font doesn’t make much sense to me neither. Moreover, Yanone Kaffeesatz is rather specific font and I’m sure it doesn’t fit most of the designs.

    with new european data protection law (GDPR) it will be possibly illegal to use this kind of (unnessessary) connections to google servers. Please update the plugin and kick off embedded outgoing connections!
