This sounds like quite an opportunity to shorten download times and reduce CDN
load. Who wants to file the bug? :)
Re fonts, see bug 619521 and bug 648548; there's even an old
proof-of-concept patch there, but it's been stalled for a while....
If we're going to do this more broadly, though, I expect we'll want to
back up and design a more general framework to manage such resources.

Lets turn this question around. If we had an on-demand way to load stuff like
this, what else would we want to load on demand?
A few examples:
Spell-checking dictionaries
Hyphenation tables
Fonts for additional scripts
Yes!
Also maybe ICU data tables, although the current web-facing APIs don't support
asynchronous download very well.
