How to self-host a web font from Google Fonts

SMRTR summary

Self-hosting Google Fonts protects visitor privacy by storing font files on your own server instead of linking to Google's CDN. The process involves downloading the font CSS file, saving all referenced font files, updating paths to use relative links, and including the proper license. This method prevents Google from tracking your website visitors' IP addresses.
