Performancetest: Ensure text remains visible during webfont

Hi,

When a browser requests a font asset from a web server, any elements with styles invoking that font is hidden until the font asset has downloaded. This is known as the "Flash of Invisible Text," or FOIT. This behavior is there to "save" us from seeing text initially render in a system font, only to swap to the custom typeface once it has loaded.

Material Design rules force us to use Roboto font, so we do not want flashes in any other fonts. That is why we do not provide any functionality to cover the invisible text whilst font loads.

But we will discuss the solution for the performance warnings within our team.

Best,

Jakub

Hi,

Thanks for your explanation. I do understand development rules sometimes are not in line with f.i. performance requirements.

One thing that puzzles me however, I do use the Roboto font and even than I get this warning. Is this something you can explain?
