Can I suppress loading Vantage fonts?

Loading the fonts package adds an extra 250 ms to my load time; I’d be happy
with using Ventura, Arial, or one of the other (default in browser) fonts.
If I change the Vantage fonts from Helvetica Neue to Ventura, Arial, or one of the other (default in browser) fonts, will that happen automagicically?

Getting rid of WP emojis dropped ~300 ms!

(I know this is small potatoes compared to the 800ms response time from my crummy web hosting, but I’m doing what I can w my part!)

Any ideas on speeding JQuery loading? I’m using autoptimize.

    Hi VWFeature,

    Preface: This will break certain icons. Such as the search button and Scroll to Top.

    To do this you’ll need to create a child theme. Please follow the instructions outlined on this page but you’ll need to do a few things slightly differently. For style.css. Please open the vantage style sheet and copy everything after:

    -------------------------------------------------------------- */

    Add it to your child theme’s CSS. Now please remove the following CSS from your child theme:

    @font-face {
  font-family: 'vantage-icons';
  src: url('icons/vantage-icons.eot');
  src: url('icons/vantage-icons.eot?#iefix') format('embedded-opentype'), url('icons/vantage-icons.woff') format('woff'), url('icons/vantage-icons.ttf?') format('truetype'), url('icons/vantage-icons.svg') format('svg');
  font-weight: normal;
  font-style: normal;
}

    Do not follow the functions.php structure – that’ll undo the above.

    I recommend using Customizer Export/Import to move your theme settings from your parent to your child theme.
