This problem has been discussed before on the WHATWG list. It's tricky because in some browsers (e.g. Gecko) we only start loading the font after you try to draw text that needs it. One possible solution: after drawing canvas text with a font that hasn't finished loading, when the font finishes loading fire an event at the canvas, e.g. "fontload".
