Google fonts will add font-display: swap if you pass a parameter to it. This fixes FOIT in many modern browsers which probably makes the user experience a little better.
This PR just adds the display=swap parameter to the two places where the google font URL is used.
As I understand it this shouldn't be a problem for older browsers, and will be better on newer ones.
