 Replying to [comment:2 pde]:
 > Cool!  Worth considering whether this needs to block fonts that are
 [http://www.css3.info/preview/web-fonts-with-font-face/ fetched as CSS
 resources] since in principle those should not be particularly
 fingerprintable.  My reading of the patch is that it would block those,
 which might be simpler than telling where each font came from in order to
 decide whether to block it or not.

 Yeah, Camilo and I have discussed this. I think that we should allow
 WebFonts if possible, too. Or at least, it should be an independent
 decision. I think my font limiting patch may also have the same problem,
 though...
