Alex:
Sorry about the dupe post.
I agree that whatever the default "theme" or "skin" turns out to be for
FlexJS should either use a default font (preferrably) or go to some
lengths to make it work really well.
The following link lays out some good points about performance problems
related to web fonts, particularly their lazy loading behavior:

And this slide deck acknowledges the problems from the link above with
proposed solutions which mitigate the downsides:

Are you saying that most sites now pull down a font? Are the common fonts
so ugly that we can't use them and provide our users with a smaller
bandwidth requirement?
FlexJS has a way of supporting @fontface now, but I would prefer that our
default look doesn't require a font download, even from a CDN. Or maybe
we have one theme that uses Arial/Verdana or something common.
My 2 cents,
