Is there any way to prevent the default (Barlow) set of Google fonts from loading (for performance reasons)?

It seems like even when there are no references to the font, they are always still loaded.

Reproduction:  
[https://basic-empty-app.bubbleapps.io/](https://basic-empty-app.bubbleapps.io/)

As you can see above, I have only one style (font Arial), used on one page with one text box.

But all the Barlow fonts are still loaded

Is there anything I’m missing, or a possible workaround? Thank you very much!

Might it be the element templates?

Thanks @sudsy - hmm it could be! I don’t see a lot of Barlow in there but possibly.

Is there a way to delete these Element Templates to see if it removes the font loading?

I honestly don’t know. 🤷‍♂️ I just know that Barlow is indeed used for the dialog title (and likely elsewhere).
