As far as I can see we can mirror the css file [1] on gnu.org. There
already are “local” font definitions in the file, which will prevent
downloading the fonts from Google.

One problem is that [1] will deliver different content depending on your
browser (e. g. woff2 for Firefox, woff for IE).

Alternatively, we could use the font library and deliver true type
fonts. Therefore we have to copy the “local” definitions into [2].
