Google Fonts
ThemeWare® offers the option of integrating Google Fonts via the corresponding API. However, we recommend that you self-host Google Fonts (in compliance with the German Data Protection Act (DSGVO)) and store them locally and embedd them from your webserver.
There is only one configuration for importing fonts via the Google Fonts API:
Tab "Layout" => Block "Typography" => Section "Google Fonts" => Field "Import Google Fonts"
Activate this configuration if you want to use the Google Fonts API or deactivate it if you do not want to use the Google Fonts API.

Note: Be sure to always check your shop carefully for Google Fonts. These can also be imported regardless of the theme through Plugins or individual customisations!
Using local default fonts
As the Google Fonts library meanwhile offers more than 900 font families (over 5,000 fonts), we are unfortunately unable to integrate them all into ThemeWare®.
Since ThemeWare® 1.1.7, all the fonts used by ThemeWare® are part of every ThemeWare® theme. This means that 10+1 fonts are available in each theme:
Fonttype: 'Montserrat', sans-serif
Font weights: 300, 400, 500, 600, 700
e.g. ThemeWare® Clean
Fonttype: 'Open Sans', sans-serif
Font weights: 300, 400, 500, 600, 700
e.g. ThemeWare® Living
Fonttype: 'Roboto Slab', sans-serif
Font weights: 300, 400, 500, 600, 700
e.g. ThemeWare® Bath
Fonttype: 'Source Sans Pro', sans-serif
Font weights: 300, 400, 600, 700
e.g. ThemeWare® Living
Fonttype: 'Titillium Web', sans-serif
Font weights: 300, 400, 600, 700
e.g. ThemeWare® Lights
Further fonts will follow later...
ThemeWare® checks whether you have entered a available font in the two configuration fields for the "Fonttype" and then loads it automatically (if it is part of ThemeWare®).
Please note which fonts are part of ThemeWare® and which configuration is best used in the configuration fields for the "Fonttype" (see cards above).
