How to make Open Sans Light to work in Chrome?
A simple work-around that solved this problem for me was to copy the CSS source from the Google embed-code, place it in your own CSS, and then simply remove the local(...) sources.
Like this:
@font-face { font-family: 'Open Sans Light'; font-style: normal; font-weight: 300; src:url(https://fonts.gstatic.com/s/opensans/v13/DXI1ORHCpsQm3Vp6mXoaTRa1RVmPjeKy21_GQJaLlJI.woff) format('woff');}
I have the font installed locally, and this method seems to work in Chrome (and Firefox, IE, and Edge).
