Note that in the td_fonts.php file it does appear italic is specified to be loaded from line 889 (this whole block was found in functions.php in Newspaper theme for those who are moving over).
e.g.,
wp_enqueue_style('google-font-rest', td_global::$http_or_https . '://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=PT+Sans:400,700,400italic|Ubuntu:400,400italic|Open+Sans:400italic,400|Oswald:400,700|Roboto+Condensed:400italic,700italic,400,700'); //used on menus/small text
That “should” be loading the “normal” body font (400 weight) in both normal and true italic (vs oblique/slanted non-italic font).
Check your page source for a post to see if that is actually there.
Similarly at line 902 this is found; presumably this would be enabled and enqueued if selected from the theme fonts selectors:
if(!in_array('g_438', $td_user_fonts_list)) {//'g_438', //Open Sans
wp_enqueue_style('google-font-opensans', td_global::$http_or_https . '://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Open+Sans:300,400,600,700&subset=latin,cyrillic-ext,greek-ext,greek,vietnamese,latin-ext,cyrillic'); //used on menus/small text
This has the light, normal, semi-bold, and bold weights, however does not have the italics, which I am not sure appends or replaces the main element at line 889.
Likely if one were so inclined they would edit the line 889 to add all the weights desired for Open Sans, remove the fonts and languages not being used, following the schema spit out from the Google Fonts website font builder:
http://www.google.com/fonts#UsePlace:use/Collection:Open+Sans
e.g., Open+Sans:300italic,400italic,600italic,700italic,400,300,600,700
so, you could edit this code like so:
wp_enqueue_style('google-font-rest', td_global::$http_or_https . '://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Open+Sans:300italic,400italic,600italic,700italic,400,300,600,700'); //used on menus/small text
For expert users, one might actually remove that block from the td_fonts.php file entirely, edit the style.css to search/replace all fonts to Open Sans, then grab the CSS from Google’s server by loading the above URL in a browser, and putting all the styles at bottom of the style.css sheet (I actually did this for Newspaper on one site, for better PageSpeed Insights score).
I only provide these examples as possible solutions and they may not apply to you. Hope that helps somebody on this topic.

Well, I’ve spent some hours trying to get the best score with the Newsmag theme. Right now I’m about 88-90 on dekstop. That’s a good score for me.
The problem it’s with the mobile score. Google Page Speed gives me something between 52 and 55, and mostly because of some unoptimized images. The images are indeed optimized, cos they are the same as the desktop version. These images are those that come from the slide. You can check the whole review here:
Is there any way to prevent this?
Also, I think we should keep a post in this forum with the page speed topic, for tips and all that stuff. 🙂
Hi,
I have checked your site and seems to work fine to me, also on your page speed test you have an 82 score on desktop and some suggestion that you should consider fixing: http://screencast.com/t/xmyZgrhwPaS

Well, if the “calls” to the italics and other weights are not found in the td_fonts.php, then they can’t magically be added any other way since any other method would simply add another call to Google fonts, when it should be part of the string from td_fonts.php; and the font calls are also optimized by the td-booster system, so best to keep it in one place.
I don’t see any way around NOT editing the td_fonts.php file, so far.
Also note the stuff on my functions.php file hacks – have nothing to do with the fonts. Was just sharing that while on topic of functions.php. Those edits are partially to improve google pagespeed insights.
But wait for Lucian or Marius. 🙂
Thanks for the reply.
1.- I disabled the plugin Speed Buster and reload the page now the problem is solved. It is not solved when I calibrate the speed of PageSpeed page. I attached screenshots:

Anyway, how much time estimate to fix it with update? I have thought about publishing the web on Monday.
2.- Another question: I’m testing the theme in http://www.oncanarias.es but it will be hosted on another site (it is a web of daily information and can not test). Is there a problem with the license? I read that you can only use a domain. How could notice in which domain I will use real way?
3.- And the last question, on the other server we have activated the ‘op cache’ in a Ngix server, I read that could have problems with the theme. What kind of problems?
Thank you,
Miguel
Hi,
1. This delay on loading the style usually happens when using speed booster plugin as the style and js is moved to the footer. We will investigate this and hopefully we can provide a solution soon.
2. I have added your site to the page speed test and haven’t found any errors: http://screencast.com/t/fkhhm73Gxunf according to it you have to optimize images and also prioritize visible content.
You can find more info about how to get higher page speed score throughout this topic: https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/pagespeed/
Thanks
Good Morning,
Firstly congratulations on the theme, it’s amazing, had long been looking for something similar. I write for several doubts or problems (sorry for my english):
1. When I load the page appears to me as the web in text mode (better to see the pictures). I have enabled the Speed Boster (I have not installed the W3 Total Cache plugin or another similar, and most plugins have deactivated). Add Boster Speed settings. I simply put the configuration of the demo theme.
2. On the iPhone, in principle, no such thing happens in 1. But when I go to PageSpeed same appears and paragraph Desktop says that an error has occurred; https://developers.google.com/speed/pagespeed/insights/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.oncanarias.es%2F (oncanarias.es is a demo domain, the host is 1and). Image: 
Thank you very much,
Miguel
Both themes load super fast with high Google PageSpeed Insights rating if your site and server are properly optimized, which I can confirm from using the Newspaper theme for one year now. BOTH themes great with both server side and plug-in based caching. W3 Total Cache is recommended cache.
Please help me solve this blocking CSS, i hope you will help as possible.
i clarify that i removed all the code (footer css code got through your tagdiv speed optimization techniques) from speed plugin function code. from my website.
after that i getting blocking error from Google page speed insider

You have a lot of plugins installed and your server response its so slow.
Use pagespeed recomendations to fix some easy problems (Y) And install quick cache.
Regards
Hi,
According to this PageSpeed test: https://developers.google.com/speed/pagespeed/insights/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.howtoisolve.com&tab=desktop you still need to optimize images. For this you can find more info here: https://developers.google.com/speed/docs/insights/OptimizeImages
And also noticed that this js files appear in the test as blocking js: http://screencast.com/t/2SfcQpo4B2ld Please mote that the jQuery isn’t moved at the bottom of the page if used with rev slider.
You can also follow this topic to find out how others fixed their issues regarding pagespeed: https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/pagespeed/
I see you use a cdn hosting service so make sure you purge files after any change as the old file content may be loaded and generate issues.
Thanks

Hello.. I bought the Theme today and now iam very unhappy cause the pagespeed is soo slow…
Why? What is wrong?
Thanks Christopher and Lucian.
The speed booster plugin, does it asynchronously load the JS ? does it minify JS and CSS? or does it simply send the JS and CSS to after the <body>
finally figured out what the error on pagespeed insights page was. Load time exceeds the maxmimum wait time.

Hi,
Thanks Christopher!
@itrejomx
Please use this guide: https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-make-the-site-faster/
You should also take a look upon this topic: https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/pagespeed/
Please also consider deactivating the plugins and emptying your cache and also purge files if you use any cache or CDN services and use the speed booster plugin at first without any additional plugins to avoid conflicts.
Hope this helps!
Thanks
Hi,
Please deactivate all plugins then use this guide and based on id’s to move js/css to the footer as this guide doesn’t guarantee that this will work for all js/css added by other plugins.
You should also follow this topics to find more info about this and also different solutions regarding issue that you may encounter while searching for “How to get the best pagespeed score”:
