Description Vitor Roriz 2022-12-08 01:56:13 PST 
Lockdown mode prevents WebKit from downloading web fonts.
We could allow the loading of popular fonts to improve quality of life. We can start by targeting font-awesome.

Steps To Reproduce:
1. In lockdown mode, go to apple.com in Safari, an SFViewController or a WKWebView.
2. See that the various arrow icons are replaced with boxes

Results:
Glyph substitutes are displayed, adversely affecting the UX of the webpage.
