You most likely just received an email but in case you are a different person:

I removed it because I can't find any legal justification for distributing it in an open source GPLv3 licensed app. The font was not made by Scratch and the Scratch Team has admitted they "have a license to use it, but not distribute the font". If they don't think they can distribute it then I most definitely can't.

Here is a workaround if you do not care about the legality of using the font:

  • Download the .ttf file - your favorite search engine can help you find "boys on mopeds font download" which is the real name of the font. If you download a .zip, extract the zip and find the actual font files, they should be .ttf or .otf files.
  • In TurboWarp, open the costume editor > click on some text > open the font list > add more fonts at the bottom > add your font from the file you selected. If you give it the name "Scratch", your project will be compatible with normal Scratch until they inevitably remove the font too.

Please note that posting things on Scratch's issue tracker will not change this and is just spam. It's like going to a Burger King to complain about a McDonalds burger -- they literally can't help you. A legal justification is the only thing that can change this.
