 > Twenty Nineteen's font stack is entirely system fonts, so this should
 not be a concern there.

 suspect that future default themes will follow this lead.
 Thanks @kjellr & @ocean90 that's great news and happy to hear it's moved
 in that direction.

 Replying to [comment:2 ocean90]:
 > Changing the fonts is no longer an option for the themes as it would
 change the theme's initial look and feel. Unlike for the block editor,
 users can easily change the theme to use one which doesn't use Google
 Fonts.
 I'm in complete agreement with you there @ocean90, we shouldn't be
 changing theme aesthetic on users. As the current option users can switch
 themes or dequeue the font.

 During #core-privacy talks on the subject some ideas were presented with
 the predominant one being bundle the Google Fonts assets, including
 license, within the themes to remove the external resource while
 preserving aesthetic. As such I'm re-opening this for further discussion
 and changing the title to reflect this.

 Aside from the above concept and the original concept of switching to a
 system font the other idea presented was a Customizer option.
