This API is a way of sync'ing with layout changes that might or might not
initiate font loads. The client code can't call the allcomplete handler until
layout changes are processed. In most cases the code below would work but
it would be nicer to have this done by the user agent:
setTimeout(function () { if (document.fontloader.readyState == "idle") doStuff(); }, 100);
Ping me on irc if you want to discuss.
