What about disabling the website fonts?

From website css:

@font-face {
  font-family: 'FontAwesome';
  src: url('../fonts/fontawesome-webfont.eot?v=4.5.0');
  src: url('../fonts/fontawesome-webfont.eot?#iefix&v=4.5.0')
format('embedded-opentype'),
url('../fonts/fontawesome-webfont.woff2?v=4.5.0') format('woff2'),
url('../fonts/fontawesome-webfont.woff?v=4.5.0') format('woff'),
url('../fonts/fontawesome-webfont.ttf?v=4.5.0') format('truetype'),
url('../fonts/fontawesome-webfont.svg?v=4.5.0#fontawesomeregular')
format('svg');
  font-weight: normal;
  font-style: normal;
}

Un-check:

"Allow pages to choose their own fonts, instead of my selections above"
