How do you do that? Google produced a suggestion to add "127.0.0.1
fonts.googleapis.com" to the "hosts." I assume /etc/hosts but am not
sure what the line should look like ...
I suppose that is a simpler solution. When the browser tries to find
the font, it goes to the local machine. I am using noscript, and block
that site.
I think it would just be
127.0.0.1
fonts.googleapis.com
But, there is already a line for 127.0.0.1 for localhost in /etc/hosts
so you would probably have to append the
fonts.googleapis.com to the
end of that line.
