Well, a font is not equal to "any content".

So perhaps the issue is whether it is necessary/sensible, just for providing a simple font, to contact Google/any cdn.

Spoiler, of course we all know it is not...

My reading is that nothing in the argument depends on the exact resource in question being a font, so I don’t see why it wouldn’t generalise to other resources.

> Google Fonts kann durch die Beklagte auch genutzt werden, ohne dass beim Aufruf der Webseite eine Verbindung zu einem Google-Server hergestellt wird und eine Übertragung der IP-Adresse der Webseitennutzer an Google stattfindet.

translated:

> Google fonts can be used by the defendant in a different way, so that a connection to the website does not make a connection to the Google server, thus without transmitting the IP address of the website visitor to Google.
