Split: Genericons font being loaded in frontend when not needed

[randym56]

I am using the cosmic late template and need to simply turn off the use of genericons. I am getting this error message:

downloadable font: rejected by sanitizer (font-family: “Genericons” style:normal weight:400 stretch:100 src index:0) source: https://myweb.com/wp-content/themes/weaver-xtreme/assets/css/fonts/genericons/Genericons.eot

Is there an admin function for me to turn the loading off? If so, where is it. If not, where in the code is the CSS loaded so I can manually turn it off?

what is “the cosmic late template”??

Is that from a plugin?

And please provide a link to your site

Cosmic Late is one of Weaver’s subthemes – not really a template.

I don’t know what the sanitizer is?

The genericons font is used for the icons in post header info.

There is no reason I can think of that there should be anything for there to be a problem.

Was checking on other things and found this Error Message again which is on each post and page and has been for years and years. As it does not seem to slow the site or cause issues, I’ve ignored it.

On my search for the reason for the error message, it led me to this forum post.

This is what I got when inspecting one of my menu titles:

downloadable font: rejected by sanitizer (font-family: "Genericons" style:normal weight:400 stretch:100 src index:0) source: https: // www.hiskingdomprophecy.com/ wp-content/themes/weaver-xtreme/assets/css/fonts/genericons/Genericons.eot

FYI, DuckDuckGo AI Assist says “This message indicates that a font file named “Genericons” was not accepted by a security feature called a sanitizer, which checks files for safety before they can be used. This could be due to the font file containing potentially harmful elements or being improperly formatted.”

Regards and thanks!

Just where are you seeing the message?

As far as I know, the theme always loads the Genericons.ttf file. The theme uses them for post format icons, for example. It is not a big file, with little overhead.

I don’t seen any error messages from the Firefox debug tool.

FYI, and for what it’s worth, when I do an “Inspect” on the word “About” on the top left of the home page, then it produces the following:

Test was using Firefox.
