Description

Once we've loaded a font, we don't need to parse the same font right? I believe we need to have a return statement here:

https://github.com/Marak/asciimo/blob/master/lib/asciimo.js#L34

Otherwise we get the callback fn() called twice. That caused some confusion when using the nodejs async library.

Regards, Kam

Research direction

Start in lib/asciimo.js at the linked line and trace the font-loading callback, especially the path taken when the font is already loaded. Verify the behavior with the existing project checks, if available, and confirm that each load request invokes its callback only once.
