Comment:

 @jenmylo, is this something the Meta team should make a priority, or do we
 need a patch from the community?

 I think it'd be great to add more font options, but I don't think it's
 practical to add individual fonts every time a team requests one. Instead,
 it'd probably be better to add popular services/collections that offer
 many fonts, and then ask organizers to choose from the supported ones.

 I think it makes sense to prioritize open-source and free services, so
 maybe [https://www.theleagueofmoveabletype.com/ the League of Movable
 Type] and [http://www.fontsquirrel.com/ Font Squrrel] would be a good
 start. It looks like Font Squrrel does offer Hack.
