The FontManager constructor downloaded FFXIV_Lodestone_SSF.ttf from img.finalfantasyxiv.com on first start (or read it from a local cache) into a GameSymFont byte array. Both historical readers of that field are gone: - BuildFonts() used to feed the bytes into AddFontFromMemory; that path was replaced by the Dalamud-provided AddGameSymbol helper. - The upstream webinterface server wrote the bytes through a BinaryWriter to serve them to the Svelte frontend; the entire webinterface was intentionally removed in HellionChat. With no live consumer left, the field, the constructor block, the HttpClient call and the disk cache are all dead code. Removing them: - eliminates the synchronous HTTP request on the plugin-load thread (no more multi-second startup hang on slow networks) - closes the implicit "no timeout, no size guard" exposure on that request - removes one outbound network endpoint (Square Enix Lodestone CDN) from the privacy footprint PRIVACY.md and THIRD_PARTY_NOTICES.md updated to reflect that HellionChat now talks to BetterTTV only (opt-out via setting). Cached TTF files left over from earlier versions stay in pluginConfigs/ HellionChat/ until a user removes them; they are simply no longer read. Build: 0 warnings, 0 errors. No behavioural change for users — symbol glyphs (job icons, item glyphs, status effects) keep rendering through Dalamud's built-in symbol font.

Upstream code
HellionChat is a fork of Chat 2
by Infiziert90 (Infi) and Anna Clemens, also licensed under EUPL-1.2.
The bulk of the code, including the message store architecture, the
channel logic, the hook system and the ImGui chat window, originates
from upstream. See ../NOTICE.md and UPSTREAM_SYNC.md for the
attribution and the cherry-pick policy.
Components that touch the network
Of everything listed above, none of the bundled or NuGet
components opens network connections on their own. All outbound
traffic is initiated explicitly by HellionChat's own source files
and is documented in PRIVACY.md under "Outbound network calls":
HellionChat/EmoteCache.cs→ BetterTTV API + CDN (opt-out via setting)
The earlier Square Enix Lodestone font download (FontManager.cs)
was removed in v1.0.4 — it was a leftover from upstream's removed
webinterface feature and was no longer consumed.
Verifying this list
To regenerate the dependency inventory after a version bump:
dotnet list HellionChat.sln package --include-transitive
The "direct NuGet dependencies" table above only lists direct references. Transitive dependencies pulled in by Dalamud SDK or by the listed packages are covered by the SDK / package licences and documented by their respective maintainers.
To re-audit the network-call inventory:
grep -rn -E "HttpClient|HttpRequest|new Uri\(|https?://" \
--include="*.cs" HellionChat/
Any new hit that is not a click-through (Util.OpenLink) or a
payload-parsing call must be added to PRIVACY.md before release.
