Just as a warning for developers in Europe and especially (perhaps) in Germany. You are in danger of being legally warned and having to pay fines.

Some bootstrap themes in PHPRunner - for example Cosmo - use Google fonts online. German iurisdiction says, that this is a violation of the GDPDR - Datenschutzgrundverordnung.

Thanks.

On some occasion, I downloaded the "font" of these "themes" and modified the "Template".

I do not know if with this the restrictions are overcome.

Cheers,

In Germany iurisdiction says, that if you use the Google fonts offline, everything is OK. But for this you have to change the CSS of some Bootstrap themes and download the fonts and copy these to your installation.
