 * Hello Typekit Fonts,
 * Happy Holidays!
 * I was curious if you had a solution to prevent the original fonts flashing before
   your fonts load? The typekit fonts load, but the fonts without the plugin show
   first for a split second.
 * Thank you for your help and a great plugin!
    Luke

 * Hi [@luke-carl](https://wordpress.org/support/users/luke-carl/),
 * The delay is know as FOUT (Flash of Unstyled Text).
 * Please see [http://blog.typekit.com/2016/07/28/changes-to-web-font-serving-on-typekit/](http://blog.typekit.com/2016/07/28/changes-to-web-font-serving-on-typekit/)
   for details.
 * Typekit offers CSS font events if you’d like to fully control this yourself:
