Because I wasn't thinking about making them consistent.

Originally there were two events fired "for the set" - loading and
loadingdone - and three events fired for each face - loadstart, load,
error.

When I switched the spec to promises, we no longer needed the per-face
ones at all (those were replaced with promises), and I changed
"loadingdone" to return all the successful fonts and added
"loadingerror" to return the unsuccessful fonts.  This means I lost
the previous "loadingdone" functionality that's covered by your
suggested "loadend".

I don't have a problem with changing to be consistent if the current
implementors are okay with it.
