Re: Flash of unstyled text/Flash of unfonted content

Hi,

Given text ui browsers or other cut-down browsers for embedded platforms -
wikibook? :) - and other specialists, 'fail to load' seems very odd to me.
If the html document comes down the line, but linked resources dont , that
doesn't seem a loading failure to me...? Happy to be wrong on this...

Regards, Dave

It's not just aesthetics of course. Sometimes a webfont may supply
characters that are not in the system fonts, and therefore required for the
document to make sense. This could be for language reasons, or for sets of
sorts such as map symbols.

Do we therefore need a CSS rule that somehow declares that a document should
be marked "failed to load", if a vital font could not be accessed? Are fonts
inherently any different from images in this respect?
