Google Fonts are transferred to the cache of your browser to prevent multiple loading. If your browser does not support Google Fonts or prohibits access to them, content will be displayed in a standard font.

Accessing script libraries or font libraries automatically triggers a connection to the operator of the library. It is theoretically possible – but currently also unclear whether and if so for what purposes – for operators of such libraries collect data.
