Google Webfonts Helper – Hassle-Free Way to Self-Host Google Fonts
I wrote https://github.com/mmastrac/webfont-dl for this purpose a few years back (although it was designed more for the command line). It still works, though I probably should change the defaults to be a little more modernized.

Google Webfonts Helper – Hassle-Free Way to Self-Host Google Fonts
Apparently the issue with Exo 2 is an upstream issue in Exo 2 that mostly affects macOS Browsers: https://github.com/NDISCOVER/Exo-2.0/issues/11
(Possibly Google Fonts is serving different CSS specific to macOS user agents as a current workaround.)
Fontsource (which is similar to this tool but packaged as npm packages and I found mentioned in another thread here) is similarly aware of the issue and suggests the current macOS workaround is to enable it as a Variable Font with slightly different CSS: https://github.com/fontsource/fontsource/issues/243
(They don't enable fonts as variable fonts in their default CSS because of different browser issues with variable fonts.)
What are some alternatives?
fontsource - Self-host Open Source fonts in neatly bundled NPM packages.
