You can't bypass. If your decision was to remove the Font repo, then your next decision has to be #1 above.
I will add the missing repositories to my setup again, and start over.
Notice that there are cases when you really want to remove a repository. Say you added a repository at some point to get a new version of a package because it solved a bug, but now that you update the whole distribution you want to go back to the stock version.
It is your decision what to do. With fewer repos is easier to maintain your machine, so taking the occasion of a distribution upgrade to remove some, is a good idea.
For example, I disabled the XFCE repo on distro upgrade (not removed).
Considering the sensitivity of a software tool like zypper, my opinion is that its documentation is far too sketchy and vague. Today, partway through my upgrade I received a warning for a library whose signature did not match its checksum; the actions for proceeding were 'Abort, Retry, Ignore'. Not wanting to abort my upgrade, I guessed that 'Ignore' would be the appropriate response, but my guess was wrong, and zypper proceeded to install the faulty library. A much better prompt would have been 'Discard, Retry, Install', not the ambiguous 'Abort, Retry, Ignore'. Of course, there is nothing in the man page for zypper that discusses these sort of prompts, so in the middle of performing a critical operation on the system, one has to guess what the prompt means.
