4,907 PointsProblem with foundation 5 project files
Hi guys i'm having a trouble when i'm loading the index file from the project files. It's taking too long to load the page, and when i turn on the js console its says:
Failed to load resource : file://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Open+Sans:300italic,400italic,700italic,400,300,700
what can i do to solve this, only happens with chrome. can i delete that line from the foundation.min.css?
"@import url("//fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Open+Sans:300italic,400italic,700italic,400,300,700");"
is this line necessary?

Looking at a similar issue to this on Zurb's forum, it looks like the problem is likely that you are developing locally so the relative link you are calling in the import url is defaulting to "file://" instead of http://.
You should be able to get it to work locally if you add http: or https to make it an absolute link as below:
"@import url("http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Open+Sans:300italic,400italic,700italic,400,300,700");"
Alternately if you are using the Sass version of Foundation and don't want to use Open Sans, you can change $include-open-sans in _global.scss from true to false.
Using custom fonts does add to page-load time, but if this is the only one you are loading it shouldn't make a huge impact.

Yes, you should be fine once you are on a live server if I understand the problem correctly.
