Font glitches while clicking around #108

Description

@phillipj

Am I the only one seeing this on page load while clicking around? The text seems slightly bigger for the first few 100 milliseconds, before suddenly changing. Must be recent change as I havent noticed this before.

Chrome v45.

    It's the web-fonts kicking in. For performance reasons, they are loaded dynamically to avoid FOIT (Flash Of Invisible Text) on mobile/slow connections.

    Works very good on Safari / iOS 👍

    Any ideas on improving it slightly for Chrome OS X and iOS? It would be really nice if this repaint only occured on the initial page atleast, not every subsequent page.

    Found Font Loading Revisited from filamentgroup, but it seems we would have to have some serverside logic for it to work perfectly.

    There's a PR in line which will probably fix that:
    #69

    There are some merge conflicts to be resolved and I was short on time, so I went for a slightly different solution. Maybe we can merge both ideas.

    Fingers crossed that #69 / #139 does the job!
