This is a different version of a font on/off toggler bookmarklet. I did one such bookmarklet earlier this year, which works by messing up font-family
inside @font-face
.
This new version works my messing up url()
inside @font-face
blocks. By "messing up" I mean changing the string "woff" to "woof" which means making the font files unavailable.
The motivation is to be able to toggle on/off and judge the "new school" of doing font fallbacks, namely using fallbacks such as local()
. In short, the previous bookmarklet breaks @font-face
blocks that use local()
, this version does not. This version only looks for url()
.
Drawback: looking for "woof" files cases 404s during toggling but I think this is not a biggie.
