Character Sheets Support External Fonts

The design and feel of a character sheet is greatly enhanced (or reduced) by the ability to have custom fonts on the character sheet. Unfortunately, external references to fonts result in the need to "load unsafe scripts" which is annoying, and something the less computer-savvy don't do or know how to do (and even the computer savvy don't always do it).  I recommend that external fonts be supported in some fashion. Perhaps only google fonts are allowed? Or perhaps as part of the github process we can upload font files.  The difficult with the github process is we'd need a way to test/view the fonts in the character sheet as we are working and developing them.  I also acknowledge that copyright comes into play here as well as it relates to commercial fonts (which is why I proposed google fonts). There's a spiffy URL that contains all the necessary CSS for google fonts located  here , we just need a way for this to be supported.

Yeah, there are a couple sheets I've made that make use of external fonts. I mean, just compare my most recent one with the correct font ( <a href="http://lithl.info/se-myoldrem.ttf" rel="nofollow">http://lithl.info/se-myoldrem.ttf</a> ): To what it does if that font is blocked:
