When you first visit the site, the fonts either do not want to load, or do not have time. font-display descriptor does not work. Who could get rid of this problem?

Could be the result of changes in [#65](https://github.com/writeas/writefreely/pull/65). But our chosen method for loading fonts ensures that text at least _shows up_ on slow internet connections, and the text doesn’t flash after a while (once the font has downloaded).

Feel free to file a [bug report](https://github.com/writeas/writefreely/issues/new?labels=%E2%9D%93+bug?&template=bug_report.md) if you want to help us get feedback from the community, but as it stands I think the current behavior is right.

How can it be right if the person who follows the link does not see what he should?  
And can I do something about it with CSS?

They see the content, which is more important than displaying the right typeface.

To change this, you can undo the changes made in that pull request I linked to before.
