fontfaceobserver VS Hack

As for the flash of fallback fonts that occurs before the used google fonts are fully loaded (also known as FOUT or flash of unstyled text / type), one simple solution is to hide the root layout's content on init by wrapping everything in an element and hiding it or by displaying a "loading..." overlay. Then, all you have to do is detect when the webfonts are loaded, using something like FontFaceObserver, to reveal your app by updating the variable your wrapper's css class or the overlay element's display is bound to.

Another method, though involves more code but can work across all browsers involve the use of an external library called FontFaceObserver. To make this work, you have to;

I wrote about loading a variable font that uses FontFaceObserver. This can be used to optimize your font loading.

I am not familiar with ePUB but you could use something like FontFaceObserver to do this pretty easily:

I used to use and really like Hack: https://sourcefoundry.org/hack/

Actually looks quite nice, but when I try it for coding I find it a bit too dense, compared to Hack [0] which gets it just about right for me.

I'm a fan of the Hack typeface. I just think it's nice and readable. https://github.com/source-foundry/Hack

Haven't seen any love for Hack yet. Here's my setup, which is also using noto sans for the variable pitch font.

I am very fond of Hack myself

Haha! Get HACK'D!
