gatsby-plugin-prefetch-google-fonts

A Gatsby plugin to download and prefetch Google Fonts. Can increase performance as opposed to loading webfonts from Google’s external stylesheet.

Installation

With npm:

npm install --save gatsby-plugin-prefetch-google-fonts

Or with Yarn:

yarn add gatsby-plugin-prefetch-google-fonts

Usage

In your gatsby-config.js file, load in the plugin along with which web fonts to load.

module.exports = {
  plugins: [
    {
      resolve: `gatsby-plugin-prefetch-google-fonts`,
      options: {
        fonts: [
          {
            family: `Oswald`,
            subsets: [`latin`],
          },
          {
            family: `Open Sans`,
            variants: [`400`, `700`]
          },
        ],
      },
    }
  ]
}
