Is there something to serve all remote fonts from a local cache?

You can block remote fonts in uBlock Origin. Websites will display your default font. https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/wiki/Per-site-switches#no-remote-fonts

Then the page is messed up with mojibake because sites now encode their cutesy icons as fonts. Usually I just deal with it but sometimes the icons are needed to use the site.

I have found this rule template:

[DOMAIN]##*:style(font-family: "[FONT]" , !important; src: local([FONT]) !important;)

Of course you need to install the websites font locally before.

Oh that's interesting. I'll look into how to do that. Thanks.
