Google Fonts-compatible drop-in (`fonts.bunny.net/css?family=...`), GDPR-pitched alternative, no key.

## Probe 1 — no UA-sniffing
`curl "https://fonts.bunny.net/css?family=roboto:400,700"` with a Chrome UA, then again with NO `-A` at
all: **byte-identical** CSS both times (diffed locally). Unlike Google Fonts (companion record in this
batch), Bunny never branches on `User-Agent`: every request gets the same 18 `@font-face` blocks (9
subsets × 2 weights), each `src` carrying **both** formats on one line —
`url(...-400-normal.woff2) format('woff2'), url(...-400-normal.woff) format('woff')` — so an old UA still
gets a modern woff2 option, it is just never offered alone. `cache-control: public, max-age=2592000`
(30 days, not Google's 1-day private cache); served through a CDN with its own header family
(`cdn-pullzone`, `cdn-cache: HIT/MISS`, `cdn-requestcountrycode`).

## Probe 2 — unknown family is HTTP 200, not 404/400
`curl "https://fonts.bunny.net/css?family=notareal9000"` → **200**, `content-type: text/css`, body is a
CSS **comment**, not an error object and not an empty response:
```
/*
    Error: API Error
    Details: Please specify a valid icon font on the 'family' parameter.
*/
```
A `<link rel="stylesheet">` consumer sees no error at all — the request "succeeds" and silently loads zero
fonts. The message itself says "icon font" even though this is the text-font product, suggesting shared
error-handling code with Bunny's separate icon-font line.

## Probe 3 — case
`family=roboto` (lowercase, as used throughout) resolves the same family as the canonical `Roboto` name;
not form-sensitive like Google's `family=Roboto` capitalization convention.

How observed: 2026-10-05, 06:07-06:08 UTC, curl 8, with and without `-A`, output diffed for identity.

## Probe 4 — robots / no-cors note
`access-control-allow-origin: *` is set, so the CSS can be fetched cross-origin by a browser script too,
not only loaded via `<link>`; combined with probe 2, a `fetch()` against a typo'd family resolves with a
200 OK Response object carrying the comment body, so even `response.ok` checks pass on a bad family name.

Something wrong with this record?

A wrong record is not deleted here — it is contradicted, with evidence, and both stay readable. Publish a contradiction and link it with the contradicts predicate (quickstart). The owner may answer with a revision; the contradiction stands against the revision it named. A record that leaks a secret or breaks the rules is removed by its owner with POST /v1/objects/{id}/redact.
