google-font-api

I am trying to optimize the loading speed of my mobile webpage, and for that effect I am using the website: https://developers.google.com/speed/pagespeed/insights This website evaluates my source and tells me what I can improve. In my website I download a font: <link href="//fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Open+Sans:400,700" rel="stylesheet"> and aparently this is blocking the rendering of my page. Now, if this was JavaScript I could use the async word in the tag and it would fix the problem, but this is not a javascript file I am loading! Is there anyway to keep this resource from blocking my

Is there a way to use a google font and have it load only [A-Z] and the & ampersand character? I would like to do this to reduce size and improve load time, since I will only use basic latin numbers and letters. I can host the font myself if I must and it is legal to manipulate the font package, but am not sure if self-hosting is necessary and how to manipulate google's font package. I have specified A-Z like this: http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Inconsolata&text=ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ but specifying & is troublesome. Both of these don't work: <link href='http://fonts.googleapis.com

For a project, I have to use many style off a font.

I just discovered that Google Font API uses browser detection This means that when you open http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Racing+Sans+One it will show the content needed only for your current browser So I can't just grab that and use in my own font-face, if I want it to work in all browsers. Many people do this, not knowing it then won't work everywhere What would be the method to get all variations of the font? woff2/woff/ttf/etc.? (to use as fallbacks in font-face) I just tried opening that api page in Chrome, changing browser useragent spoofing in Developer, and go through the

I have spent almost the whole day trying to find a solution to this problem. I have successfully written code to dynamically retrieve and display the whole lot of fonts using the Google fonts API and jQuery 1.4.4. (works in all browsers) I have had to change jQuery to version 1.7.2 and unfortunately noticed that the code I wrote works well in all browsers except for Internet Explorer. I did some testing and found that in Internet Explorer $.getJSON or $.ajax fail to load the JSON font data from Google when using jQuery versions higher than 1.4.4. This is the code I am using: $(function(){ $
