    Move the fonts from Google Fonts to local assets · 55fa8e61

    Currently we have two problems that are resolved by this change.
    
    The first is that we have a dependency on Google Fonts, which means
    that should it ever go down, or it have issues we would also have
    issues. This will resolve this by moving the dependencies we load from
    there to the local server.
    
    The second issue is that Google Fonts is currently returning the
    `local()` css font source. This causes a problem where the users browser
    fails to fallback to a missing glyph, resulting in many unusual
    characters displaying the failure glyph. This will resolve this by
    creating a font-family definition that does not use the `local()`
    source.
    
    I did not update the error pages with local fonts, they still use the
    remote google fonts api, so they're a self contained page that does not
    use the asset pipeline.
    
    This resolves tootsuite/mastodon#531 and tootsuite/mastodon#12
