In order to comply with EU privacy protection guidelines, it is recommended to host Google Fonts locally rather than linking to them from external servers. However, Webflow does not provide a direct method for installing Google Fonts at a local server. Here are some options you can consider to achieve this:

Download the fonts: Visit the Google Fonts website (fonts.google.com) and select the desired fonts. Once selected, click on the "Download" button to obtain the font files in your local machine.
Add the fonts to your project folder: Create a new folder within your Webflow project's directory structure, and place the downloaded font files within it. Make sure to keep the font files organized and easily accessible.
Upload the fonts to Webflow: In the Webflow Designer, go to the Asset Manager by clicking on the "Assets" tab in the right sidebar. Then click on the "Upload" button and select the font files from your local machine to upload them to Webflow.
Reference the locally hosted fonts: After uploading the font files to Webflow, you can reference them in your project's CSS by using the @font-face rule. This rule allows you to define a custom font by specifying the font family name, font file format, and the path to the font file within your Webflow project.
Apply the custom font: Once you have defined the custom font using the @font-face rule, you can apply it to your website elements using CSS. This can be done by targeting specific classes or elements and setting the font-family property to the name of your custom font.

By following these steps, you can host Google Fonts locally in Webflow and comply with EU privacy protection guidelines. It's important to note that this process requires some technical knowledge of CSS and web development.

To summarize, you can install Google Fonts at a local server using Webflow by downloading the font files, adding them to your project folder, uploading them to Webflow, referencing them using the @font-face rule in your CSS, and applying them to your website elements.
