This is only true if the CORS mechanism is not used, if CORS is used a user agent still needs to do a cross-origin request to check for the presence of a CORS header that explicitly allows cross-origin use. This is behavior Firefox and IE implement for all font resources. So in terms of request volume, a same-origin restriction with CORS for relaxation and Anne's From-Origin mechanism are pretty much equivalent. In either case a request is necessary. John Daggett
