Why would that change anything? It’s still loading the fonts from google’s servers, but as far as I can tell this dodges a request for the css file (assuming you add it to the rest of your styles).

edit: I suppose if your server were slow enough that it took more time to serve the ~4k than it took to request + download from google then that would make sense.

Also I guess if the URL for the font sources ever changed you’d be preeeeetty screwed.
