For instance, if you wanted to use Open Sans on your website, you would add the following to the top of your CSS file: <pre>@font-face { font-family: 'Open Sans'; src: url('opensans-regular.eot'); src: url('opensans-regular.eot?#iefix') format('embedded-opentype'), url('opensans-regular.woff') format('woff'), url('opensans-regular.ttf') format('truetype'), url('opensans-regular.svg#open_sansregular') format('svg'); font-weight: normal; font-style: normal;}</pre> You will want to make sure that all of the urls to the fonts include any directories that you may have placed the fonts in. You may notice I have referred to a sans-serif and a serif font. Keep that in mind. Now that you have specified your fonts, you can call on them throughout your CSS file wherever a font is called. Do this by searching for “font-family” in the document, and replace whatever that field contains with the following, depending on which font you want to call. To call on the serif font, you can simply change the text along the lines below. When you include “serif” at the end, this is called font -stacking, and permits it’s a useful back-up in case there are compatibility issues with your font displaying in your visitor’s browser: <pre>font-family: 'Liberation Serif', serif;</pre> When you want to call on your sans serif font, you could do something like this: <pre>font-family: 'Open Sans', sans-serif;</pre> Even though you have uploaded your favorite fonts to your server, if you do not want to download automatically default to the system default fonts should your font fail, you can do further font-stacking with common fonts. Simply call on the fonts in your order of preference as explained below, keeping your local package self-hosted font as the first font in the stack. <h4>Alternative: using Web safe fonts</h4> If specifying fonts is not a high priority for you, an easier solution is to font-stack with “web safe” fonts. These are common fonts that you list in order of preference, typically in a list ending either in “serif” or “sans-serif” as a back-up, as seen above. For instance, if you want your user to see the Georgia font, but are comfortable with any serif font displaying, then in your CSS and HTML files, you can simply remove all references to the Google fontsas above, and state something like this wherever a font is called (search for any reference to “font-family”): <pre>font-family: ‘Georgia’, ‘Times New Roman’, serif;</spanpre> If the user’s system contains the Georgia font, that should display, if not, it will fall back on Times New Roman, or finally on the system-default serif font. List your favorite web-safe serif or sane-serif fonts according to similarity and preference. W3 has a useful article[https://www.w3schools.com/cssref/css_websafe_fonts.asp] listing and displaying web safe fonts for you to choose from. That's it! You've liberated your website and visitors from a Google tracker! </p>
