David, I had no intention of attacking you. But I believe that to believe that in situations, where remote fonts have been approximated by metrics from local fonts for the purpose of initial rendering (because that's how I understood your explanation) "you don't see any layout jumping, since the pages that use downloadable fonts have tended to be well designed" -- that this belief is somewhat naive. Obviously I may be flawed, but in my opinion, remote fonts "change everything" when it comes to web page rendering. I'll happily prepare examples showing how much the space taken by some web elements differs once you change/load the font.
