Font style matcher

If you're using a web font, you're bound to see a flash of unstyled text (or FOUC), between the initial render of your websafe font and the webfont that you've chosen.

In the end, it turned out working very nicely.At first I wanted to make the whole system mechanical, because I study mechanical engineering, and have no experience with programm...
