      Due to
      https://privacy.apache.org/faq/committers.html#can-i-use-google-fonts
      we should replace the

          <head>
            <![CDATA[<link href="https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Mate+SC" type="text/css" rel="stylesheet" />]]>
          </head>
      

      snippets in all webpages with a locally hosted version.

      This applies to all of Creadur's projects: https://whimsy.apache.org/site/project/creadur

      Font Mate SC / Overlock

      licensed under https://openfontlicense.org/
      is part of the google-main-fonts:

      fonts-main/ofl/matesc$ ls
      DESCRIPTION.en_us.html  MateSC-Regular.ttf  METADATA.pb  OFL.txt  upstream.yaml
      
      • no attribution required
      • 2.1 Can I make webpages using these fonts?
        Yes! Go ahead! You could ask visitors to download and install the fonts, but loading the fonts dynamically as webfonts through CSS @font-face declarations is a much better method. The referenced fonts can be hosted on the same server as other site assets and content, or loaded from a separate webfont service. This is recommended and explicitly allowed by the licensing model because it is distribution.
