coolLabs Fonts README

A privacy-friendly drop-in replacement for Google Fonts

I wrote it in an hour, so please report bugs here. Several improvements could be made here and there, so do not hesitate to contact me. if you have any suggestions.

Why?

There have been several GDPR issues popping up lately with Google & Google CDN. We don't know what they are doing with user details, such as IP address, browser agent, etc.

So I decided to create a similar service just without logging ANYTHING.

How to use?

How to configure coolLabs Fonts

  • DOMAINlocalhostDomain for the fonts API endpoint
  • BUNNY_STORAGE_API_KEYAPI key for BunnyCDN storage access
