For the majority of users, is it really worth the FOUT and other issues when they dont even care/won’t notice a different font?
Designers will notice
99% (everybody else) wont
I am all for better design and better looking sites
BUT when there is a price to pay for the majority of users and it makes the site worse to use (slightly i will admit) for a benefit they will not notice, appreciate or care about I am not sure it is worth it.
Designers are very keen on designing for designers, I should know, I am one.
If you site is aimed at designers then great. Otherwise its very short-sighted.
Devils advocate
