A better approach to this is to utilize the WebFontConfig library to load the font in the background asynchronously while your page either hides the text (not recommended really) or uses a substitute font of similar typeface characteristics. See http://www.paulirish.com/2010/details-on-the-new-google-webfont-api/ for more specifics. Besides...fonts are big. Who wants all that bandwidth usage on their own servers? :P
