Bulletproof Icon Fonts
summary
Shows that icon fonts need a different strategy than content fonts and gives concrete fixes: browsers trigger a 3‑second timeout (Chrome/Firefox), Safari discards late fonts after 60s, and IE shows fallbacks immediately. Implements a real library called font face onload that measures glyph dimensions, adds a document class when the font finishes loading, and prevents FOUT/FOIT for icons. Also details a Chrome GDI workaround (serve an SVG font via a webkit‑only @font‑face block).
