Except for the Wiktionaries, given that they will include lemmas from (eventually) all languages. For an indication of the size of the problem even now, folks might look at the entry for http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/dictionary ...
It's not a good idea, however you slice it, for text on the page to not render while a multimegabyte font file downloads on the first page view. As far as I know, this is exactly what happens in Safari right now. If that's correct (I haven't tested), little squares for some users on some pages are far preferable. Even if an interim font does render while the web font downloads, it's still not a good use of our viewers' bandwidth.
