I have found that using Google fonts can slow a websites loading time dramatically.  Please add a parameter in vertex based templates to allow Google Fonts to be turned off and if turned off stop the template from calling up http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=<?php echo $s5_fonts_high;

Hello,

If you set the font to Arial or Helvetica it will not call google fonts.

That wasn't the case in the compassion template.  It calls up font.googleapis.com before it checks which fonts are to be used and the site doesn't fully load until it gets a response which can be very slow.  I've commented out this line and the speed difference is remarkable.

Hi there,
its a logic problem in the code

on index.php line 35 you have
Code:
<?php if(($s5_fonts_highlight != "Arial") || ($s5_fonts_highlight != "Helvetica")|| ($s5_fonts_highlight != "Sans-Serif")) { ?>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=<?php echo $s5_fonts_highlight ?>" />
<?php } ?>

it has to be
Code:
<?php if (($s5_fonts_highlight != "Arial") && ($s5_fonts_highlight != "Helvetica") && ($s5_fonts_highlight != "Sans-Serif")) { ?>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=<?php echo $s5_fonts_highlight ?>" />
<?php } ?>

same on vertex\css_and_js.php line 27 for $s5_fonts

have a nice day
and thanks for this great template btw

you can delete/comment out the lines or replace with this
Code:
<?php if (($s5_fonts_highlight != "Arial") && ($s5_fonts_highlight != "Helvetica") && ($s5_fonts_highlight != "Sans-Serif") && ($s5_fonts_highlight != "Tahoma")) { ?>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=<?php echo $s5_fonts_highlight ?>" />
<?php } ?>

dont forget the $s5_fonts ...
