While doing page speed tests with Gantry and Afterburner 2 I find that fontawesome-webfont .woff takes over a second to load. See screenshot.
I am looking for millisecond savings to streamline the site. I have tried setting template font to helvetica, the template font, but fontawesome still loads.
Can I disable this?

Hi,
I posted this problem a while back with no response.
In my tests it only happens on the home page, not on any other page. I also have a fontawesome-webfont file not found error.
Maybe I should create a new home page and see what happens.
Somehow I need to disable the script that calls up fontawesome but I don't have the skill to do it.
Hopefully someone will respond with a solution, as page load speed is becoming more and more important.

No deleting those folders is not a legal way to save some loading time. Ya it is true that if you delete them then those fonts do not load because they don't exist on your server any more. But the problem is gantry still invokes loading request to load fon-awesome but when they don't find them they are not loading. That means though they are not loaded but still gantry send a request to load them. Even Google Chrome shows some console errors. So i want to say It is a very very bad idea. The solution is very simple you have to customize some CSS LESS files which sends request to load them. Yes you can also delete the font-awesome folder because they are not requested any more so what's the point to keep them on the server? If you want me to give descriptive solution on how to customize those less files then I can say that too but always trying your self is the best idea because this way you learn a lot. Thank you.
