There have been some legal licensing issues during the 3.0 transition for some reason. I don't know the exact details — but I don't think those fonts are coming back.

That…is just sad…luckily there is games that still have the old fonts… just in low quality… and aren't the old fonts in public domain? ARCO™ (Gas Company) Uses one of the old fonts, I see a lot of things that use the old scratch fonts, Heck, In google slides: The old “Chalkboard” font is featured as a font you can use… I don't think it was legal trouble that got the old fonts gone, I think scratch just wants some new fresh fonts, While I understand, I wish they added the added the old fonts back while still keeping the current one. - iNeveBrokeTheRules

Pretty sure there were some legal issues. You'll have to ask someone like @thisandagain for more information; I don't know the specifics.

Both companies likely paid for their use.

Don't give up yet!
You can use Google Drawings to create a drawing with the fonts you want, and export the drawing you create. Even if you export the drawing as an SVG, the text is saved as a path so the font is preserved! Unfortunately, with text-to-path conversion you won't be able to edit the text like you normally can because it's now a path.
I personally use Gravit Designer, though, and convert the text to a path with the conversion button.

Donegal, Gloria, Helvetica, Marker, and Mystery. There's also the Scratch font but that's not a web font, so that has to be downloaded externally.

The old font are still here!
Donegal ---> Serif
Gloria ---> Handwriting
Helvetica ---> Sans Serif
Marker ---> Marker
Mystery ---> Curly
Scratch Team only change their names!
Also, if you go in a project create with 2.0 / create before Jan 1 2019,
it only appeare the old font names and you can just copy and paste the text then change it.
Moreover, there projects on scratch that provides different fonts, like:
[url=https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/79374426/]Scratch Symbols[/url]
ᴛʜᴇɴ ⓨⓞⓤ caп ǝʇɐǝɹɔ(create) ᖱᓰℱℱᗴᖇᗴﬡ☂(different) fonts, x̲d̲ x̶p̶
:)
when green flag clicked
define font is back!(back!)

Anyways, I don't think those fonts are coming back. Why? Because Scratch 3.0 is dumb.

That's a rather “dumb” claim there. The fonts aren't coming back because of legal issues — ask a Scratch Team member for more information. Anyways, I don't think those fonts are coming back. Why? Because Scratch 3.0 is dumb.

Why did they take out the “Scratch” Font, if Scratch Owns it?

I don't believe Scratch owns it. It's a font called “black boys on mopeds” that was created back in 2005 — before Scratch really had a website. You can see the font here: Why did they take out the “Scratch” Font, if Scratch Owns it?https://www.dafont.com/black-boys-on-moped.font
