Some FontData is owned by SimpleFontData, but that is all correctly accounted for so we can ignore it for the purposes of this discussion.

All other FontData is requested via FontFallbackList::getFontData:
  FontFallbackList::getFontData calls
    FontCache::getFontData calls
      CSSFontSelector::getFontData calls
        CSSFontFace::getFontData calls
          CSSFontFaceSelector::getFontData which allocates FontData
      or
        CSSSegmentedFontFace::getFontData which allocates FontData

On the return path, FontCache caches and owns non-custom FontData, while FontFallbackList owns custom FontData. There is no way, as far as I can tell, to get a custom FontData object without going through FontFallbackList and FontFallbackList always caches that custom font for removal when no longer used.
