It's amazing that one can do `rustup doc` in order to load the Rust documentation in one tenth of a second even with a very slow Internet connection.
It would be even more awesome if said documentation didn't then try to load fonts from Google's servers.

I guess to make that work, we'd need (a) to work out if we're allowed to distribute those fonts, and (b) have a variant of the doc generation which embedded local copies. Which documentation is trying to load remote fonts?

I think everything that uses mdbook (like doc.rust-lang.org/book/) uses Google Fonts

Aha righty, yes. rustdoc embeds the font I believe. So it sounds like a patch to mdbook is needed, then a new release will mean new toolchain docs have that fixed. Do you think you're up to investigating writing that patch?
