To swap out all the fonts in your Webflow site to comply with regulatory requirements in Germany, you can follow these steps:

  1. Identify the font regulations in Germany: Before making any changes, it's important to understand the specific font regulations set by German authorities. For example, you may need to ensure that the fonts used on your website are easily readable and accessible for individuals with visual impairments.

  2. Export and backup your site: Before making any changes, it's always a good idea to export and backup your Webflow site. This will allow you to revert back to the previous version if needed.

  3. Access your Webflow site: Log in to your Webflow account and select the project that contains the site you want to update.

  4. Navigate to the site settings: In the Webflow Designer, click on the site's thumbnail to access the site settings.

  5. Open the fonts panel: In the site settings, go to the "Fonts" section. Here, you will see a list of all the fonts currently used in your site.

  6. Replace the fonts: To comply with the German regulatory requirements, you need to swap out your existing fonts with compliant alternatives. To do this, you'll need to click on each font that you want to change and select a new font from the font drop-down menu.

  7. Choose accessible fonts: When selecting your new fonts, make sure to choose ones that are considered accessible and meet the required readability standards. Sans-serif fonts are often a safe choice as they are generally easier to read, especially for people with visual impairments.

  8. Apply the changes: Once you have chosen new fonts for all the font categories in your site, click on the "Publish" button to apply the changes to your live site. This will swap out the fonts throughout your entire website.

  9. Check and test your site: After publishing the changes, it's crucial to thoroughly check and test your site to ensure that the new fonts are displaying correctly and are compliant with the German regulatory requirements. Test on different devices and screen sizes to ensure that the fonts are readable and don't impact the overall user experience.

Remember, complying with font regulations in Germany is just one aspect of ensuring your website is accessible and legally compliant. It's also important to consider other aspects such as color contrast, alt text for images, and proper heading structure.
