Is there a specific website which shows the problem?
Yes, an an internal one.

If it is related to a crash on a website, do other WebKit-based browsers
exhibit the same symptoms? Other browsers include surf, midori, jumanji, dwb,
and sugar-browse.
No - I'm using Safari on my macOS machine and it's fine.

My issue is that fonts loaded via a CSS @import statement over the internet (https:// to google's font library) appear to be ignored. Opening the inspector and viewing the Resources tab indicates that they're not loaded at all. Local fonts (on the same web server as the loaded page) seem to load OK.
I'm trying to load the Roboto and Roboto Condensed fonts.

The specific CSS Import statement is:
@import url(https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Roboto:400,700|Roboto+Condensed:400,700|Open+Sans:400,600,700);

Safari isn't "WebKit" as far as we can baseline it on. Apple uses their own copy with a different front end. Could you try with another WebKitGTK-based browser?
