I'm not currently a user of octopress yet, but I have observed the following recently on some octopress blogs* and octopress.org too):

When the page is loaded initially, for a split second, the content is not visible, but header/sidebar are. Strangely though, the line under underlined words is visible during that time. This creates a somewhat ugly appearance even if it is for a short time.

Is this a known issue? My guess is that they are using a custom font from Google Fonts or similar, and the content is not shown initially. (I sometimes have font rendering issues too, thought they have been reported before, and possibly related to another thing like optimize-legibility.)

I have searched the Issues, but couldn't find a similar report, sorry if this is a duplicate.

I'm on Ubuntu, using Chrome.

Thanks,

Ustun
