Probably for the same reason as background-images and the like.
Confirming as I don't find any bug on this.

I am working on a patch for it. It already finds every @font-face rule in <style> nodes and downloads the font files. The current patch has an issue with the naming of the files though. It is saving the files with .asc suffix (and _002.asc, _003.asc for files that have repeated basename). Any idea how to handle that? I dont know why it's dropping the file extensions that are declared in the url descriptors.

I still need some feedback on how to fix the wrong naming of downloaded font files.

Would be nice to have this for websites which show bugs only with webfonts, i.e. bug 994923.

initial implementation with wrong naming of downloaded font files

Saving links referenced by the src array of @font-face rules is definitely something necessary to save webfonts but this feature will require a lot more than just that. Webfonts are lazy loaded, so stylesheets can include definitions of webfont resources that are never used on a page. I think the save code would need to look at the fonts used on the page and store those under reworked names.
