Dirigible Fonts changelog

0.1.6 2026-10-08

Added

• Fixed single weights for fonts moved from Google Fonts: with Dirigible 5.31.105 or later, the Hosted Fonts switch can pick them when they download much less than the variable file.
• A Managing fonts guide in the builder docs.

Changed

• Variable fonts set to one width at the default download a smaller file (Roboto about 40% smaller).
• Fonts use the font host's new builds, which match Google's weights and are about a third smaller. Sites download the new files once on their next daily font refresh; the most-used fonts look exactly the same, and Inter, Merriweather, DM Sans, Fraunces, Literata, Source Serif 4, Bodoni Moda and Newsreader headings now match Google's weight.

Fixed

• Editing a font's card in Fonts no longer drops single weights that the switch from Google Fonts added.

0.1.5 2026-10-01

Changed

• Italic font files download only on pages that show italic text, the way Google Fonts behaves. Pages without italics no longer fetch them (for Nunito, about 45 KB less per page).

Fixed

• Font features that run from scheduled tasks through WP-CLI now find the plugin.

0.1.4 2026-09-30

Changed

• Font preloads no longer compete with the page's main image. Large font files (over 40 KB) load when the text needs them instead of being preloaded.
• Update checks use the Dirigible theme's license handling, so a plugin with no license key no longer sends an empty one.

Fixed

• Fonts now load on https sites whose uploads address is set to http. Before, browsers blocked them and the page fell back to other fonts.

0.1.3 2026-09-30

Security

• Updates come only from Dirigible: WordPress no longer matches this plugin to a WordPress.org listing with the same name.

Changed

• The offline font catalog bundled with the plugin is now a single file and includes all 237 families (32 new, 11 with full weight sets), so fresh installs and font-host outages match what the font host serves.
• The installable zip is smaller: build sources, source maps, right-to-left stylesheets and Markdown are no longer shipped. Nothing sites load changed.

Fixed

• A visitor who lands while the plugin is being updated sees "This site is updating, refresh in a minute" instead of a critical error, and error replies never include server file paths.

0.1.2 2026-09-29

Security

• Only administrators can change fonts. The Fonts save now checks permission and a security token, and every font setting is validated before it reaches the page. This closes a hole where any logged-in account could add script to every page. Values stored before this release are cleaned automatically on update.

Fixed

• If the Fonts page has been open too long, saving shows "This page has expired. Reload it and try again." instead of failing silently.

0.1.1 2026-09-28

Removed

• The unused font files that 0.1.0 still shipped. Sites load their fonts from their own downloaded copies, so the plugin download drops from about 40 MB to about 1 MB.

0.1.0 2026-09-28

Changed

• The font collection now comes from the Dirigible font host instead of the plugin. New families appear in the Fonts directory without a plugin update, and changes to a site's active fonts reach it on their own.
• Until a site has downloaded an active font, pages load it from the font host instead of the plugin folder.
• The font files still ship in the plugin, unused, so pages cached before this update keep loading their fonts. A later release removes them, which shrinks the plugin download from about 40 MB to under 2 MB.

Fixed

• Metropolis 400 italic loads (it pointed at a file that didn't exist), and the 200 italic weight, which never had a file, is no longer offered.

0.0.89 2026-09-28

Changed

• Sites download their active fonts from the Dirigible font host into uploads/fonts/dirigible/, split into Latin, Latin Extended and Rest files. Pages load only the Latin file unless they show other characters, so most homepages download about 60% less font data (Montserrat 211 KB → 62 KB); fonts that are already small save less. Only the Latin file is preloaded.
• Until a site's downloads finish (or if they fail), fonts keep loading from the plugin exactly as before, so the update is safe to auto-apply.
• The Fonts admin previews load each family's Latin file from the font host instead of the full bundled file, so the Fonts page loads faster.

0.0.88 2026-09-25

Added

• Cal Sans Text UI, the interface cut of Cal Sans (variable weight 400–700, roman and italic).
• Cal Sans A11y, Cal Sans UI, and Cal Sans Geo, the geometry cuts of Cal Sans v2 (variable weight 400–700, optical size, roman and italic).

Changed

• Installable release zips omit the builder docs tree so screenshot assets are not shipped to sites.

0.0.87 2026-09-21

Changed

• Recapture Fonts admin feature screenshots at 2× (retina) for Dirigible Support docs.

0.0.86 2026-09-21

Added

• Builder-facing documentation for the Dirigible Support site: overview, getting started, managing fonts, licensed families, and Fonts admin feature screenshots.
• PHP catalog helpers (ds_fonts_catalog() and family metadata) so the theme and other plugins can read bundled families without scraping the admin UI.
• Iframed block editor canvas now receives the same @font-face CSS as the rest of admin (WordPress 7.1 always iframes the post editor).

Changed

• Font Preload and Load Italic Early read Studio grouped settings (ds_get_setting) with a get_theme_mod fallback for older parents.
• Google Fonts importer: prefer MONOSPACE when Google tags a family as both, and store variable wdth default correctly.
