Seems confusing that fontLoaded will be called twice. Are all the callers prepared for this?

Doesn’t seem good for this 3 second value to be here in the setStatus function. Can we put it at the top of the file with a comment explaining the reason we chose 3 seconds?

Timers are pretty big objects. Does each CSSFontFace really need to have its own timer just for this? Maybe use a std::unique_ptr<Timer> instead? Or maybe CSSFontFace is really huge already and this isn’t a significant additional stuff.

Is there some set of other data members that are only relevant for web fonts? Seems unfortunate the things about font loading are all mixed in with the things about fonts “at rest”.
