How do you expect a scripted font to work? Does the script run for every character every time it is displayed? On load? What?

In any event, the issue in this case is not that the font is scripted. The svg file referenced by the font does not contain any scripts at all. Rather, the document that is loading is invoking an onload when the font is loaded and that is getting  back to the original document causing it to do layout which is an error because the font is loading due to a layout.
