OD Local Fonts – GDPR/DSGVO-friendly local font management for Joomla

Replace Google Fonts with locally hosted fonts: no CDNs, no hidden calls. Fast, privacy-compliant, and fully under your control.

The extension integrates seamlessly with Helix Ultimate and makes your locally stored fonts available directly inside the typography settings – without modifying any core or template files.

Key Features

• Upload and manage local fonts (WOFF2 by default, optional WOFF / TTF / OTF / EOT)
• No external font requests – fully GDPR/DSGVO-compliant by design
• Automatic integration with Helix Ultimate typography
• Fonts are stored locally and reused across templates and projects
• Clean, native Joomla admin interface
• No Google Fonts tracking cookies and telemetry
• Works with Joomla’s WebAssetManager (CSP-safe)

Privacy & Compliance

All fonts are loaded locally, ensuring compliance with GDPR/DSGVO and similar privacy regulations.

No personal data is collected or transmitted.
