Hello Typekit Fonts,

Happy Holidays!

I was curious if you had a solution to prevent the original fonts flashing before your fonts load? The typekit fonts load, but the fonts without the plugin show first for a split second.

Thank you for your help and a great plugin!
Luke

Hi @luke-carl,

The delay is know as FOUT (Flash of Unstyled Text).

Please see http://blog.typekit.com/2016/07/28/changes-to-web-font-serving-on-typekit/ for details.

Typekit offers CSS font events if you’d like to fully control this yourself: https://helpx.adobe.com/typekit/using/font-events.html

Thanks for the reply James! And happy holidays!

I will try to implement the CSS font events in the upcoming days.

If I have any questions, I will let you know.

Thanks again for getting back to me,
Luke
