It's not a good idea, however you slice it, for text on the page to
not render while a multimegabyte font file downloads on the first page
view.  As far as I know, this is exactly what happens in Safari right
now.  If that's correct (I haven't tested), little squares for some
users on some pages are far preferable.  Even if an interim font does
render while the web font downloads, it's still not a good use of our
viewers' bandwidth.
