In multisite, if font is loaded or updated, it will updating to all subdomains sites

[GauravKhupse]

In the Astra theme, we have used this library to load the font.

Test case:- When we updated the font on one first subsite, this font is updated on the second sub-site with the first site URL.

I have created a video, so you can easily understand the problem:- https://share.bsf.io/qGux1NYP

I hope, you will provide a solution or help to this issue with multisite.

Can you please try replacing this line:

webfont-loader/wptt-webfont-loader.php

Line 426 in 780e564

$result[ $font_family ][] = $font_family_url;

with this:

$result[ $font_family ][] = parse_url( $font_family_url )['path'];

That should convert absolute URLs to relative, which I believe will work for subdomain multisite installations too.

Let me know if that works so we can fix it in the repository 👍

If I'm not mistaken, the fix in Astra will create lots of duplicate files 🤔
So if there are 100 sites that all use the Noto Sans font, then each site will need to download the font separately, taking up hundreds of MB of disk-space instead of just a couple MB.
The problem is not that the font-files are not separated by site... That is by design. The problem is the generated font-file URL. Or am I wrong?

This issue still exist in the current latest version 4.6.3. It happens once Preload Local Fonts is turned on, while it does not happen if this is turned off.

Hello @aristath ,

You're correct in pointing out the potential issue with duplicate files in Astra. However, it's not just the font-file URL; the problem extends to the entire font files being replaced by the new files of the current sub-site. To address this, I'm open to suggestions for a better alternative. Please feel free to share your thoughts on how we can optimize this process and avoid unnecessary duplication of files across sites.
