You shouldn't normally see a flash of fallback text unless the font is
particularly slow to load; the text should be invisible until the font
is available. We aim to hide the text until the font is ready, unless
it takes more than a few seconds to load. (The timeout is configurable
- see gfx.downloadable_fonts.fallback_delay - so if you've set it
lower than the default of 3000ms, you'll see visible fallback more
frequently.)
This is a debug build on a machine with an IDE disk, so it's possible it
might be taking more than three seconds to load the font. I'll try
tweaking the delay to see whether it helps.
Could you point us to the irksome site? If you're often seeing ASCII
fallback, I wonder if there's something unusual about how it's
specifying/loading the symbol font.
(The ASCII flash is irksome, the rest of the site isn't!) Here's the
