the rendering of a custom font embedded with font-face is really fast on webkit-based browser, but very slow on firefox: it starts to render the text before the font is downloaded, then the font is "replaced".
anyone knows a really fast and clean solution to avoid the problem ?
really thanks
After doing a bit of quick research on the topic (FOUT: Flash of Unstyled Text), there seems to be no solution to the initial load at the moment. It can, however be mitigated on later page loads by caching the font.

Anyway, since it is a CSS3 feature right now, and since all browsers are slowly working with performance and compliance with it, I'd imagine that in the future it'll gain more features, performance, and stability, but for now, we'll have to stick with what we've got.
