Lots of good fonts, but I can't just embed them in a stylesheet. I must download them and make MonoGame spritefonts[^] from them.
First I must know if that's ok with Google fonts, or I will have to leave them.
The language is JavaScript. that of Mordor, which I will not utter here
This is Javascript. If you put big wheels and a racing stripe on a golf cart, it's still a f***ing golf cart.

"You mean like from space?"
"No, from Canada."

You can download them:
Yes. To download fonts, simply create a selection of fonts, open the drawer at the bottom of the screen, then click the "Download" icon in the upper-right corner of the selection drawer. You can download the fonts to use in mock-ups, documents, or locally on your machine.
There's also a GitHub project with all of the font files:
GitHub - google/fonts: Font files available from Google Fonts[^]
What you can do with them once you've downloaded them will depend on the license for each font.

Thanks, that's good to know. The generation of spritefonts often is not explcitly mentioned in the licenses, so I must still be a little careful.

Oh, they're quite nice about it.
You only have to fill out a form, giving your real name, home address, all your e-mail addresses, credit-card number, mother's maiden name, shopping preferences, browsing history for the last five years, etc.
I mean, they have to make sure they haven't got any gaps in your info, before letting you use a font.

As if they did not know already about all these...

Oh they know.
It's just to check if you are an honest person.

No connection to the comic Griff linked just below, so I'll keep quiet!

It's NEVER a good time for a tax hike!
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

Last week one of our customers was trying to update some data through a web API.
Unfortunately, the data was not inserted through the API and as such was missing some data necessary for everything to work.
I spoke to her on the phone and explicitly said "if you send me the user names and codes (that they have) I can fix everything and stuff will work from then on."
She told me she could send more data, but I insisted, I only need the user names and codes.
She just send me an Excel sheet with 43 fields, but the code field is not included...
I can't help but think they do this stuff on purpose...

You should create a portal | web page | tool for them to fix their own issues. You should not be in the business of fixing "one-offs" for the end user.
That is the only correct solution here.

And then spend the next three months trying to work out WTE they did to "fix" the issue that's now caused even worse problems in a seemingly unrelated part of the system.

We have not encountered that problem ever. We have a real world working implementation strategy based on the advice I gave and it has been working fine for over 5 years.

You obviously have a better class of users.

No. We write the software that only lets the user do what the user needs to do, within our (software services) control.
If the user needs to correct records in a database, then we provide the GUI|toolset for them to do "just" that. When we (the software engineer) do this correctly, then all is fine with the world. We (the software engineer) do not correct the record(s) for them, which I think is what Sander was mentioning, more or less.
In summary, it has nothing to do with the users.

That's great - if the users know what the "correct" values should be.
And if they can remember what you've previously told them from one week to the next.
Giving them a tool to make very specific corrections might work, so long as it walks them through, holds their hand, and has a metric crapton of sanity checks.
Giving them unconstrained access to modify the database to "fix" their own problems? That never ends well.
