SmugMug, Google Fonts & GDPR

Hi all,
I live in Germany. At the beginning of 2022, Germany ruled using Google Fonts as a violation of the GDPR, when embedded from Google servers. I looked at it and for the beginning embedded them from Bunny Fonts, but SmugMug still keeps loading fonts from Google as a part of the Theme. I guess this will be the case also if I host my fonts locally. Is there any way how to prevent this?
I booked now SmugMug for another two years and am happy with the service, but this is a potential killer.
Very much thankful for any help on the topic.
