 After upgrading to 6.4 (issue remains in 6.4.1), my site started loading
 tons (+600) fonts on both front-end and admin dashboard.

 They are loaded on `<head>`, via an inline style tag with `wp-fonts-local`
 class, summoning fonts with @font-face.

 I switched themes and the issue remains regardless.

 Was able to avoid loading all these fonts with this code in
 `functions.php`:

 `remove_action( 'wp_head', 'wp_print_font_faces', 50 );`

 It's possible to witness it right now in my staging site: https://staging-
