Description Ryosuke Niwa 2015-02-23 17:11:47 PST 
It looks like font loading events' interface has been chained in the latest spec.
Comment 1 Ryosuke Niwa 2015-02-23 17:12:40 PST 
The latest interface is FontFaceSet:

There's one more issue with the current implementation, which is that it prevents many documents to go into a PageCache because CSS fonts are large and they continue to load for a while.

I think we need to come up with a strategy to suspend the font loading manager somehow.
