feat(typography): migrate from Google Fonts to local font hosting
Replaced external Google Fonts integration with locally hosted font files
for Oswald and Roboto.
- Added local @font-face definitions for Oswald (400, 500, 700)
- Added local @font-face definitions for Roboto (400, 500, 700)
- Removed Google Fonts enqueue and external requests
- Implemented unicode-range optimized font loading (latin subset)
- Fixed font file path inconsistencies causing fallback rendering
- Ensured correct font-weight mapping across all variants
- Maintained existing typography system via CSS variables
Result:
- No external font requests (fonts.googleapis.com / fonts.gstatic.com removed)
- Improved performance and privacy (GDPR compliant)
- Consistent rendering with original Google Fonts appearance
- Full control over font loading and optimization
This commit introduces a major internal refactor of the theme, replacing all
dynamic styling mechanisms with a fully static, CSS-based system.
The previous implementation relied on WordPress Customizer settings, PHP-based
style generation, and inline CSS injection for fonts, colors, and header behavior.
These systems have been completely removed and replaced with a deterministic
architecture using CSS variables and dedicated stylesheets.
Key changes:
- Removed dynamic font system (Google/local/inline CSS)
- Removed dynamic color system and Customizer controls
- Removed legacy compatibility layer (legacy-aliases.php)
- Removed custom header support and related UI (header image, text color)
- Eliminated inline <style> injection in wp_head
- Introduced static typography system via fonts.css
- Introduced static color system via colors.css
- Refactored style.css to rely entirely on CSS variables
- Cleaned up conflicting font declarations and redundant rules
- Simplified theme structure and reduced PHP overhead
- Aligned translation template with theme slug (zeitfresser.pot)
Result:
- Improved frontend performance and caching behavior
- Reduced PHP execution and complexity
- Fully deterministic rendering without runtime style mutations
- Cleaner, more maintainable codebase
No visual changes intended.
