Research direction

Reproduce the connection on macOS 10.15 with Simplenote 2.9 while launching the app and reading or writing raw text, with syncing disabled. Trace the startup and raw-text paths that initiate the request to fonts.googleapis.com; done means no third-party connection occurs, while Simperium syncing still works when enabled.
