 Wordpress is an open source software bundle. Every necessary dependency is
 included, but the Open Sans font is not included and reloaded from Google
 on every page accessing WP. This font should either be included in the WP
 source or removed. Or an option to disable this external loading should be
 given.

 To change will enhance the privacy und security for all users that access
 a Wordpress site. (cf. http://www.riskiq.com/resources/blog/jquerycom-
 malware-attack-puts-privileged-enterprise-it-accounts-risk)

 The URL is hard coded in the Wordpress core file /wp-includes/script-
 loader.php in line 603

 This desire is now solved by various plugins, but this is an enhancement
 for the Wordpress core.
