Font-roboto-local

[gupta.abh...@gmail.com]

Is there a way through which i can ask Polymer to use font-roboto-local whenever i give font as roboto instead of downloading the font.

Or better still is there a way where i can ask polymer not to import font-roboto/roboto.html even if an import tag is there?

You can use https://github.com/PolymerElements/font-roboto-local and overwrite the directory in bower.json that it saves font-roboto-local to. That way, any imports that import font-roboto.html will use the local version instead of the CDN version.

"font-roboto": "PolymerElements/font-roboto-local^1.0.0"

FWIW, the fonts team does recommend using the CDN version because it's likely to already be in the user's cache.

Correct me if i am wrong, what you are saying is if i save font-roboto as "PolymerElements/font-roboto-local" that will stop all elements from using "PolymerElements/font-roboto". But all the polymer elements (like paper-style) already have font-roboto as their dependency. So it will still download font-roboto and all the elements will still end up using CDN.

Please ignore my above comment. I got it working using "ignoredDependencies" in .bowerrc file. Thanks a lot for the help.

paper-styles uses an import for font-roboto/roboto.html. All of the other elements that depend on Roboto should also be using this import. Therefore, by switching your bower.json to use:

"font-roboto": "PolymerElements/font-roboto-local^1.0.0"

instead of:

"font-roboto": "PolymerElements/font-roboto^1.0.0"

Any component that imports font-robot/roboto.html will be switched

over to load the local version instead.

Yes you are right. On my first try it installed both font-roboto and font-roboto-local. I thought it was because paper-style has font-roboto as its dependency. So i added ignoredDependencies in my .bowerrc file to avoid downloading it. But now when i try without ignoredDepencies it is working fine. 

Maybe i missed something in my first try or maybe it was something with command line.

Thanks a lot for the help.
