Comment:

 As discussed, there are pros and cons to this. Privacy and speed are two
 great arguments for removing the Gfonts. Beautiful design and especially
 consistency (as the default WordPress system font stack will of course
 render a different font for MacOS as it does for Windows etc) can be
 mentioned as reasons against removing it. But I agree that I think the
 arguments against it are largely moot as the editor should render the font
 that the theme provides. We could still keep Noto in the way that Ari
 suggests, or we just rely on system fonts, which, while a bit plain, are
 fast and well-legible. As a fallback for themes to override, that seems
 fine.
