I always opt for self-hosting, be it fonts or other assets. Sometimes I am briefly envious of the ability to use things like Google Fonts, Unpkg or polyfill.io when setting up a project. But I started doing web dev in 2018 when GDPR was introduced here, and I always was kind of paranoid regarding that.

Self-hosting is probably a better habit to acquire anyway, the only alternative being explicitly contracting with a company that offers edge CDN.
