You can't in a nutshell - it loads a font from an external source so there is a delay while the font loads

You could try using a font similar to it in the custom css so the flash isn't so obvious - so when the font loads it overrides it

Hmmm. too bad... I never had this in previous templates and it seems to slow down performance..

And how about 404 pages? Is it possible to have something like this?

There are many factors with FOUT - server performance, the amount of text loading using the font, site performance etc

Do you mean pre built error report pages or creating your own?

Yes, pre built 404 pages.
In the link I sent, I have those 404 pages already defined by the template.

They'er much better than these: www.portal-gestao.com/xpto

This trick did it:

Although I had to add specific styles for IE 10 and higher.
