Description
Docs builds have been failing recently with mysterious python errors.
On closer inspection, it seems the errors result from a Google fonts error, whereby Roboto fonts couldn't be downloaded (presumably due to some CDN error).
This PR essentially "vendors" the fonts in question by storing them in the
./docs/.cache
folder so that they don't need to be downloaded from the CDN on every build. This should prevent our builds from failing when Google fonts is having a whoopsie.Also updates other docs dependencies to latest versions.
