Description
### Expected
When launching the app and reading/writing raw text, it is not expected that a third-party connection is establed from the Simplenote application, except to Automattic's own Simperium services when the syncing service is in use.
### Observed
Simplenote wants to connect to `fonts.googleapis.com`.

### Reproduced
* macOS 10.15
* Simplenote Version 2.9
Contributor guide
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.
