Don´t work on local server (Xampp)

[SNDK77]

I´m running webfonts on my server and works fine, but when I try to set it on Xampp don´t work.

When I try to <> on google show empty and in fonts.com show the login form but when I complete the form doesn´t show anything.

Thanks for the development, It´s very useful, shame con fonts.com for the ugly banner.

Correct in line 2, must say:

Hello,

I'm sorry to hear that you're having trouble using Web Fonts in your dev environment. Web Fonts makes use of the cURL extension for PHP. I think the reason it's not working in your environment is because you do not have cURL installed/enabled. I can't really help with this because this type of tech support is not my forte (I haven't run XAMP in 5 years), but I did do a search and found this:

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3020049/how-to-enable-curl-in-xampp

I hope that helps!

Don't be too hard on the Fonts.com people, they are the only reason this extension exists! They hired me to do both their side and Google's side and they provided many ideas for the layouts and also helped in getting it built. It's a big show of faith for them in open source and Joomla's future because this type of development doesn't come cheap. The banner is removable with a commercial account ($10 a month), which is a good idea if you build a lot of sites because font licenses can add up and also because Fonts.com delivers fonts via their font delivery network which loads fonts much faster than the other pretty font alternatives.

Sincerely,

John

Sadly the CURL isn´t the problem. I follow the post you cite and don´t work.

This is my PHP info about Curl

curl cURL support enabled cURL Information 7.21.7 Age 3 Features AsynchDNS Yes Debug No GSS-Negotiate Yes IDN No IPv6 Yes Largefile Yes NTLM Yes SPNEGO No SSL Yes SSPI Yes krb4 No libz Yes CharConv No Protocols dict, file, ftp, ftps, gopher, http, https, imap, imaps, ldap, pop3, pop3s, rtsp, scp, sftp, smtp, smtps, telnet, tftp Host i386-pc-win32 SSL Version OpenSSL/1.0.0e ZLib Version 1.2.5 libSSH Version libssh2/1.2.7

I hope you can figure another reason about this issue, you are very kind.

In a second thought about Fonts.com they aren´t evil, instead the bet to open source and the development of extensions for joomla is a very good reason to trust they.

Thanks.

Hello,

Unfortunately, I don't know enough about XAMP to be of any help. Two things you might try are to see if there is any debugging information you can turn on and also ask for help in the Joomla forums. Though I don't work with XAMP, I'm sure lots of other people do and might have better advice about troubleshooting the differences between your development environment and a production server.

Sorry I can't be of more help!

Thanks for posting your stats- it might provide a clue to someone who is having a similar problem to SNDK77 in their dev environment.
