Google recently updated this to a new version. This bug only occurs with the new version. At this time it&#8217;s unclear if the new version exposes a bug in how I use it or if my usage exposes a bug in the API wrapper itself. I&#8217;m trying to get a clarification from upstream on the issue:<\/p>\n<p>https:\/\/github.com\/typekit\/webfontloader\/issues\/166<\/p>\n<p>TypeCatcher used to load the wrapper from ajax.googleapis.com\/ajax\/libs\/webfont\/1\/webfont.js which always provides the newest version. Luckily, Google continues to serve old versions if you use their explicit version number rather than just &#8220;1&#8221;This bug fix release using the last know &#8220;good&#8221; version, 1.4.10.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>To install or upgrade <i>TypeCatcher<\/i>, press Ctrl+Alt+T and run commands below one by one in terminal:<\/p>\n<pre style=\"border:none;\">sudo add-apt-repository ppa:andrewsomething\/typecatcher\n\nsudo apt-get update\n\nsudo apt-get install typecatcher<\/pre>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/ubuntuhandbook.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/11\/TypeCatcher-fixed-Google-fonts-preview.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ubuntuhandbook.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/11\/TypeCatcher-fixed-Google-fonts-preview.jpg\" alt=\"TypeCatcher fixed google webfonts preview problem\" width=\"540\" height=\"303\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2249\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ubuntuhandbook.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/11\/TypeCatcher-fixed-Google-fonts-preview.jpg 540w, https:\/\/ubuntuhandbook.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/11\/TypeCatcher-fixed-Google-fonts-preview-300x168.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 540px) 100vw, 540px\" \/><\/a><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>TypeCatcher, the Google webfonts downloader recently released 0.1.2 with important bugfixes.
