Preloading @font-face fonts?

Question

Is it possible to preload or otherwise cache @font-face fonts, most likely with javascript, before the page loads so you don\'t get that ugly jump when the page finally does

Answer 1

There are a few techniques for "preloading" here: http://paulirish.com/2009/fighting-the-font-face-fout/

Mostly tricking the browser into downloading the file as fast as possible..

You can also deliver it as a data-uri, which helps a lot. and also you could hide the page content and show it when its ready.
