Eliminate web fonts to decrease file size?

Is it necessary to embed, e.g., Proxima-Nova and Consolas rather than just rely on browser's built-in fonts?

Current thinking is that the views should look the same, no matter the machine / internet connection. But it's probably a good idea to use commonly available (web safe) fonts like Roboto. That said, unsure on what font to use for monospace though.

If the HTML files are to be rendered client-side, though, not sure it matters if there are slight font differences? Seems the lesser evil of adding bulk to every HTML file?
