Hi,

Is there anyway to serve google web fonts locally from the router? Maybe like the way that absolution and pixelserve work, if I understand correctly, intercepting and replacing before they reach the browser? Or is this too tinfoil hatish?

Thanks in advance.

AB-Solution or pixelserv offer no web hosting services.
But you could install a webserver from the Entware package repository, nginx is one of them.
Then you add your redirect rules in /jffs/configs/dnsmasq.conf.add
 
Doesn't this get cached by your browser anyway, as multiple websites will refer to the same file?

When developing, I set my cache size to zero, for obvious reasons.
But I have my local webservers that host the content.

exactly... and caching them locally on a local server might miss the benefits of updates/fixes for those fonts...
