[OpenFontLibrary] WordPress & fonts, bundling vs. linking

[Vernon Adams]

I’m not sure i understand the reason for bundling in a font like that? Is it to be used for the wordpress UI etc? If so then i can’t see the big deal in fussing over the extra kb’s. Isn’t a default Wordpress install big enough that the extra footprint of a single font family a non-issue?
