Default theme "Innovation" fetches one font file directly from Google Fonts servers.

There has been a court verdict in Germany that this breaks European data protection law. Some background here. Website owners now get letters from lawyers who claim compensation for violating data protection of their clients (here).

The licence of Google Fonts allows to store Google Font files on local server and add font files also to one's product: https://developers.google.com/fonts/faq.

Best mitigation is to load the Google font directly from GetSimple installation.

This fixes #1354
