Description
How big would the metrics for an entire fonstack be? (everything but the bitmaps)
Text shaping (and then label placement) is blocked by getting the metrics. I'm wondering if it is feasible to ship all the metrics at once, and only download the sdfs in ranges

Research direction
Start by examining how text shaping, label placement, font metrics, and SDF glyph downloads are handled in node-fontnik. Determine whether shipping metrics for an entire font stack while downloading SDFs in ranges is feasible, and define the required scope and completion criteria before implementation.
