Support WebFontLoader #5

Closed sloria closed 6 years ago

sloria commented 6 years ago

Using WebFontLoader is the recommended way to load web fonts (see here and here).

It would be great if this plugin could inject the proper code for WebFontLoader.

+1. The current method (<link> tag in the <head>) blocks rendering

I agree it's the recommended way but something else to consider... it also has an effect on the time it takes for the page to become interactive. Plus on iOS and in some webkit browser you can get a flash of un-styled text.

Just some considerations to make before switching :)

I've made a separate plugin to support async loading of fonts via webfontloader. This should take care of this request.
