Google Fonts: Local Font Files for Chinese Language)

@Daniel

googleapis.com is (sometimes?) blocked in China

yes, but not sometimes, but always at least for now.

@Daniel

but this answer seems to state that fonts work:

Yes, only google font Apis is working for China, but the speed is not stable, that is why we need VPN access.

@Daniel

There’s also a trick you can use, where you can only download certain characters from a font: webfonts - Use a google font and include only [A-Z] and '&' - Stack Overflow. If anyone visiting your site has ever seen a website that uses that font (the odds are pretty high) then they will have that font already in their browser cache, so no download will be necessary.

Chinese font is completely different with English font, and that is why the chinese font is always so big, so, that way of stackoverflow is not practical for Chinese fonts.

Worth a read as well:

En... thanks so much.

Actually, I only use the Noto+Sans+SC, the total size is around 400MB, I can upload it to our server, do you think it is possible to reference that font from our local server?

I mean, is it possible way to do technically ?

Thanks
