Replaces the Open Sans Google Fonts import (regular weight only, so bold was synthesized) with a self-hosted Figtree variable font (300-900, latin subset, SIL OFL 1.1) plus a metric-matched Arial fallback and a preload link.

The site loaded Open Sans from Google Fonts with only the regular weight, so headings and bold text were synthesized bold, and every page made a third-party request.
This switches the whole site to Figtree, self-hosted as a single variable woff2 (weights 300–900, latin subset, ~20 KB) under
static/fonts/, with a preload link and a metric-matched Arial fallback to avoid layout shift on swap. The font is from @fontsource-variable/figtree 5.3.0 and is licensed under the SIL Open Font License 1.1 (static/fonts/OFL.txt).
