This is an experimental technology
Check the Browser compatibility table carefully before using this in production.

given in parameters to be loaded.

result = aFontFaceSet.load(font, text);
Returns
A Promise of an Array of FontFace loaded. The
promise is fulfilled when all the fonts are loaded; it is rejected if one of the fonts
failed to load.
