I would rather not have the fallback font as the font changing suddenly is jarring. It also can muck up spacing to quite a high degree. If for example you were at an anchor quite a distance down the page and then the entire page shifts.
I added a Feedback drawer to the top of my site. Javascript would determine the height of the drawer then set the top position equal to the inverse of it's height. That way the drawer was completely hidden.
However when a font was loaded the height of the drawer changes and then you've got it sticking down over of the top of the page.
These kinds of things are really frustrating. I'd like to see the page not display until the fonts are loaded and I'd like to see Chrome start shipping with some of the more common web fonts included.
