The safest option is to install Google Fonts locally in the theme. There is a great free online-tool for this: The google-webfonts-helper, which makes it incredibly easy to install these fonts safely.
Install fonts
Example Montserrat
- Open google-webfonts-helper
- Search for
Montserratand choose the stylesregularand700 - Copy the generated CSS, paste it in the child-theme
/assets/scss/_bootscore-custom.scss - Go back to google-webfonts-helper, scroll down and download the package
- Create folder
fontsinside/assetsfolder in child-theme, unzipmontserrat-v14-latin.zipand copy files to this folder. Font is now installed and can be used
/* montserrat-regular - latin */
@font-face {
font-family: 'Montserrat';
font-style: normal;
font-weight: 400;
src: local(''),
url('../fonts/montserrat-v18-latin-regular.woff2') format('woff2'), /* Chrome 26+, Opera 23+, Firefox 39+ */
url('../fonts/montserrat-v18-latin-regular.woff') format('woff'); /* Chrome 6+, Firefox 3.6+, IE 9+, Safari 5.1+ */
}
/* montserrat-700 - latin */
@font-face {
font-family: 'Montserrat';
font-style: normal;
font-weight: 700;
src: local(''),
url('../fonts/montserrat-v18-latin-700.woff2') format('woff2'), /* Chrome 26+, Opera 23+, Firefox 39+ */
url('../fonts/montserrat-v18-latin-700.woff') format('woff'); /* Chrome 6+, Firefox 3.6+, IE 9+, Safari 5.1+ */
}Usage
Use variables to assign the new font in /scss/_bootscore-variables.scss:
// Fonts
$font-family-sans-serif: 'Montserrat', sans-serif;

Hi Andrew,
the generated code from Google Webfonts Helper has this path:
url('../fonts/Just change the
../to../../:url('../../fonts/Don’t care about the
src: local(”)
