The Odoo website module uses several Google fonts, hosted by Google servers. Is there a way to override this and host the fonts locally?
Odoo is the world's easiest all-in-one management software.
It includes hundreds of business apps:
- CRM
- e-Commerce
- Bogføring
- Lager
- PoS
- Project
- MRP

A quick and dirty fix:
Comment out in /addons/website/static/src/scss/website.scss:
$-seen-urls: ();
@each $alias, $key in $o-font-aliases-to-keys {
$-url: o-get-font-info($alias, 'url');
@if $-url and index($-seen-urls, $-url) == null {
$-seen-urls: append($-seen-urls, $-url);
// @import url("https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=#{unquote($-url)}&display=swap");
}
}
Hello, from Odoo 15, we added a toggle to select if the google font should be served by Google server or by the Odoo server:
Must be improved!
Please prefill the input field and also supply a dialog to switch all fonts to "local"!
Crucial and legally important function !
I found this tool (no affiliation and unfortunately only in German) helpful to check if all requirements are fulfilled (i.e., check if font is loaded from the Google servers, or not):
Hi to all
To fix this you can deploy this module :
https://apps.odoo.com/apps/modules/13.0/bytist_fix_google_font/
You will have to load the font files in your static directory and include it as an asset by inheriting the web front end assets xml file then applying the fonts using a css.
Indeed, but the Google Fonts/files are still loaded within the website module.
Hi guys, is there any update here? Facing the same issue and interested in how you solved this :)
Thanks Mario :)
Then we'll patch odoo here
Is there an upstream patch for this already. This is becoming a serious threat for German customers. See https://www.datenschutzticker.de/2022/03/einsatz-von-google-fonts-ohne-einwilligung-ist-rechtswidrig/
There is a module for replacing Google fonts with BunnyFonts:
https://apps.odoo.com/apps/modules/15.0/hav_remove_google_fonts/
mh thanks but that doesn'r really solve the core problem for the OLG Munich but should be sufficiently good to avoid trouble with lawyers for a while at least ;-)
Even if the fonts are hosted in the EU, the fonts are fetched from a 3rd party. To make 100% sure, put the fonts locally within an addon on the Odoo server.
yes @mario and this one doesn't work without having a doorkeeper route in Odoo as it is an integral part of each website rendered and fetched even before any consent can be given
Besides that oi think thats a core problem to Odoo, that Odoo S.A. should be solving. And i am pretty sure they will as all SaaS instances are similarly affected
There is a way to change the font source from default "google servers" to a local font set. (Website Editor -> "Theme" -> Paragraph -> Font Familiy
The dialog is very bad in the sense that all Google fonts are preset as server loaded and instead of allowing a change easily, a broken form asks to replace the (already existing) font source AND confirm to store this on the Odoo server.
All preset to cloud! (NONSENSE!)
When selecting one of the fonts we hit this broken dialog:
We have to enter the complete font url. And change the default "Google Server".
You would have to reset all fonts with this lengthy steps instead of finding a simple switch to "local".
This topic is terribly neglected and misformed in Odoo by - probably - some Google "believers" or interest to push Google tools.
Using Google Fonts is a much worse form of tracking usage statistics than any cookies can be.
When hitting a google fonts block the Website Editor (or other wysiwyg components) can also fail badly without a usefull error.
Hi!
I created a module that automatically hosts all the Google fonts used in the website module and replaces the links in the asset bundle with external references to the Google fonts with internal links pointing to the hosted fonts. In this way, privacy problems are mitigated and the solution is more compliant with the European regulation for the GDPR. It works for odoo 18. It's free.
Search this app in the odoo app store: local_google_fonts
