This is an experimental technology
Check the Browser compatibility table carefully before using this in production.
The load()
method of the FontFaceSet
forces all the fonts
given in parameters to be loaded.
Syntax
result = aFontFaceSet.load(font);
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.
Parameters
font
: a font specification using the CSS value syntax, e.g. "italic bold 16px Roboto"text
: limit the font faces to those whose Unicode range contains at least one of the characters in text. This does not check for individual glyph coverage.

// The code in 'then' can assume the availability of that font.
document.fonts.load("12px MyFont", "ß").then(…);
