Blink Intent to Ship makes this urgent.

Link points to 404

@twirl Fixed, thanks.

Did some review of this in IRC with @TabAtkins. One of the main confusing points was that ready() means two different things for FontFaceSet and FontFace. But per the Blink thread they plan to kill ready() for FontFace so it should be OK.

@torgo you can update the status page; we have already had some discussions with @TabAtkins in IRC. There may be more to do here: e.g. links to our proposed promises-guide .ready/.loaded/whatever guidance, or addressing some concerns about cross-thread state observation (but I think Tab already did work on this). But it's at least "in progress"

Discussed in London F2F; nearly done. @domenic to complete by Oct 31.

Discussed in NYC; @domenic looking into it.

Discussed in SF; @torgo to follow up with @domenic and Kenji B.

I finally went back and looked through the old concerns about this. (Had to dig through my old email account in fact.) They have all since been taken care of.

Thanks, Domenic – any further info you ca point us to on that (just for closure)?

The original concern (from Ryan Sleevi) was about the initialization process for FontFace objects being underspecified and buggy in a few areas. These concerns were addressed over time in the following commits:

You rock.

Alternately: I do.
