Right now, every wpt test includes a stylesheet with an @font-face rule to
make the 'ahem' font available to tests. Since font loading triggers a
document-wide reflow, we end up with a non-deterministic network-driven
reflow in each and every test, which makes it harder to test layout
optimizations and increases the chances for intermittent bugs.

In [1] I'm planning to add a debug flag to load web fonts synchronously,
and set that flag in the wpt runner. Please let me know if anyone has any
objections.

Cheers,
bholley
