I mean there's no more complexity to serving a font directly than there is an image

I mean there's no more complexity to serving a font directly than there is an image - although certainly CMS tools might not make it that easy.

I mean, I get the temptation and time was I'd happily use Google fonts and pull scripts from CDNjs and friends - but all that does is increase the number of platforms that can break your website by going offline.

By serving it all direct, the only time your scripts and fonts aren't available is when your whole site is dead 😉
