As long as you use an alias for the domain name, yes, certainly.  I
didn't mean to imply otherwise.  I was only observing that Akamai is
not *completely* invisible to the UA as Vladimir suggested -- the user
can easily tell if any given site is using it or not.  (This might not
have been totally on-topic.)

You could always choose not to use the same domain name for your
CDN-hosted content, however -- maybe to stop cookies from being
transmitted to third-party sites?  In this case, you'd have to add the
extra domain to your font files before it would work, but of course it
would work if you did that.  I can't see how root strings would break
down completely if you used caching servers.
