What is fakefont ?  en

Author: Francois R.
Visited 1177, Followers 1, Shared 0  

Since updating to the latest version of WX5, I get an error message, as per enclosed screen shot:

Some fonts used in this document have not been linked to the project: fakeFont.

My problem is that when I run the project analysis, as per the suggestion of the error message, I cannot find anything related to a font issue. And I have not used fakeFont either.

Any idea?

Thanks.

A Google online font is probably entered in the template and since there are legal problems with data protection (GDPR) in the EU, these fonts are replaced by standard fonts.

If you want, you can simply ignore the message or delete the font or replace it with an offline font, see my instructions (scroll down to the 12th blue marked post)

Thanks for your reply.

Alas, this has nothing to do with my issue.

All fonts used by the site are correctly defined as offline, whilst running 'Optimize the Website' does not show any error due to a font not correctly linked.

All fonts in the Template Settings / Text, Field and Button Style are ok.

I have not used a fakeFont and have no idea as to what it refers to. Only that Website X5 moans about this when I open my project.

This error has appeared after updating the website to the latest version of Website X5.

Then just ignore it if everything is ok. Maybe the error message will disappear with the next update.

FWIW This exact thing happens to me as well, on two websites I regularly update. It's annoying, but I've just decided to ignore it, as I can't find anything wrong, and nothing about the fonts has changed prior to the warning popping up.

У меня тоже было сообщение, но анализ проекта ничего не показал. Я сам нашел два шрифта, и заменил их.

Сообщение пропало.

Hello Francois

I can confirm that this warning can be safely ignored.

FakeFont is not a real font but a peculiar logic used by the software to deal with fonts with errors inside the project. This will never affect the project's performance nor its SEO or anything like this.

You can simply move on and ignore this for the moment

I remain available here

Stefano
