AdminLTE.css has an unwelcome Internet API dependency

AdminLTE.min.css has an unwelcome Internet API dependency (fonts.googleapis.com) that makes the AdminLTE template not fully useful for intranet networks without Internet access:

@import url(https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Source+Sans+Pro:300,400,600,700,300italic,400italic,600italic);

Beside that, an import declaration inside css file introduce several issues for bundling CSS files (Search on google for: Unexpected token, found '@import').

There are some other reasons for not using import declaration inside css file that we can check here: don’t use @import

[…] where should the adminLTE get the fonts from?

In my opinion the template should not start with custom fonts to begin with. Just like Bootstrap - on which it’s based - it should use standard system fonts by default (Helvetica, Arial, etc. or even just sans-serif). Then every user can easily customize it to taste and load how many external fonts they desire.

Is this going to be done one day?
