When using downloadable fonts, theres a slight delay before the downloaded font shows up. This looks odd, but Ive managed to work around it by using `FontFamily.Resolver.preload(...)` and only showing my content after the call finishes.

Is this a really bad idea? Considering cases where the user has no/bad connectivity, etc. Would I potentially be blocking them from accessing my app for a long time? And if thats the case, is there an alternative?

This is definitely something you need to consider and is why there is <https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/@font-face/font-display|font-display> descriptor in CSS.
I think you can use `withTimeout() { ... }` to achieve similar effect.

Oh yep, thank you. I guess Ill stick to having my fonts bundled in the app for now (+90 kb).
