For those of you who don't care about custom fonts, I made a quick extension[0] that disables use of all web-fonts (woff/ttf/otf) by blocking all requests made to these extensions. It does save me a lot of bandwidth when I do enable it. Plus, it saves you from FOUT. Its open source on GitHub as well[1].
I still have to add support for a whitelist, so that it can be actually useful (for instance, GitHub needs web-fonts for most of its interface).
