Move font loading from footer JS to head with preconnect and preload hints. This reduces CLS by ensuring fonts load earlier in the page lifecycle instead of being dynamically inserted after footer loads.

This was noticed while trying to do #1214 and the text kept resizing the layout whenever I would hard refresh. Now the swap isn't as bad when loading the fonts and hard refreshing or on first page load.
Only other way to fix it would be to host the fonts ourselves.
