Worried about site speed and font-blocking? 79% of visitors use browsers that support the .woff format. So why not embed fonts as a data URI into your css?
IcoMoon and FontSquirrel already provide an option to Base64 encode the font into CSS.

Now this does add considerable weight to your css, and its shear length is a bit unruly. So, I opt to create a separate fonts.css file, including base64 @font-face for all my fonts and custom icon font set. Obviously, I load this file after all other css assets. Of course, you can further minimize size by gzipping, but I’ve yet to experience any performance or Flash of Unstyled Content (FOUC) issues.
