drupal.org is using Google as a third party service provider of fonts, which is in breach of EU's General Data Protection Regulation ("GDPR").

In light of the ruling in January 2022 as described in Website fined by German court for leaking visitor's IP address via Google Fonts, the font should be embedded in the theme in stead.

From one of the CSS files:
@import url(https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Ubuntu:700,400,300);html ...

Pros:

  • Not relying on the Google CDN
  • Avoid potentially slow load times
  • More privacy-friendly

Cons:

  • A little extra work coding it
