Our team uses dashboard on a LAN without an internet connection. When I tried it with the latest version 2.15.4, the phenomenon that dashboard is not displayed for a long time on the first access has appeared. I have tried this with 2.10.1 and this phenomenon does not appear. When I checked on Chrome's web developer screen, it seems that waiting for timeout occurs when accessing [fonts.googleapis.com](http://fonts.googleapis.com) .  
When I examined github repo, find this.  
[https://github.com/node-red/node-red-dashboard/commit/24036e5c3bd695d977a47b3f6b49cae355e51404#diff-f3c8e37dd0a73713fe739364dd4bcd98](https://github.com/node-red/node-red-dashboard/commit/24036e5c3bd695d977a47b3f6b49cae355e51404#diff-f3c8e37dd0a73713fe739364dd4bcd98)  
This fix is ​​supposed to access [fonts.googleapis.com](http://fonts.googleapis.com) in index.html.  
Is the dashboard a specification that requires an internet connection? Is there a way to use dashboard even offline by setting cache etc.?

Hi - any chance you can try latest version in master branch on github ? I now try to load that font asynchronously in the background - so it shouldn't block page loading and should just fail quietly.
