I had the same answer few months ago and got this answer:

Thanks! I knew I had seen this message somewhere, but lost it...
The reply makes me feel a little more confused, on a higher level. How

some bundled webfonts ? "scratching my head".
Note that in my case the "fonts" are just just images and icons, which
makes the normal font fallback mechanisms useless. They are needed, period.
