Remove Google Fonts usage

[qwerty287]

This is actually more a background question than a bug report or feature request. I don't really know any CSS and web styling, however, there are some lines importing Google Fonts APIs. I think, you should replace them with local files - take a look at your website:

Your server, your data, your rules. Never depend on someone else. Lychee is a self-hosted solution, so you are in the full control of your photos.

Sure, I'm in the full control of my photos, but connections to Google Fonts are still very bad and Never depend on someone else also isn't correct.

The lines are:

No worries. I think we do all agree with you.
A few years back when I added the landing page, I used some html layout which included those fonts (mostly Roboto).
Adding them statically would also be fine for me. :)

We actually discussed this recently here: #1217 (comment) 😃.

There is an issue with Laravel here, because they used Google Fonts in their Exception templates. There is a merged PR laravel/framework#40926 for Laravel 9.x, which is not used by Lychee (means the only way fixing the problem on the Exception templates is to upgrade Laravel to any version higher than Laravel 9.0.2, the first version which includes the PR).

There is no need to use the exception templates provided by Laravel, they can be replaced by custom templates and the branch consistent_json_api also does so. However, I only modified them to the necessary extent and did not take care of any font dependencies.
