README
This script is a feature detection for the CSS3 feature of @font-face. This enables you to use a hosted font file as a 
font-family in your CSS.

View the full details of this project at:
    http://paulirish.com/2009/font-face-feature-detection/

My requirements for this detection were:

    * No browser userAgent sniffing
    * No extra HTTP request required
    * Must be performant with a small footprint, natch
    * Results should match the latest research on compatibility

This script is meant to replace all fontAvailable scripts. It can be asynchronous, but it has much greater accuracy.
