Woff and Caching
WOFF (Web Open Font Format) is a new web font format developed by Mozilla to embed custom fonts to websites. As I tried to use WOFF among with EOT (for Internet Explorer) and TrueType (Firefox 3.5) for this site, I noticed that Firefox is requesting the WOFF font twice and doesn't cache it, so it gets requested every time.
While debugging with Firebug I saw that Firefox aborts the first download of the font, request it again and then apply it to the website. This really turns down page loading.
I remembered having this issue with *.ttf and *.eot too and I fixed it before.
