[Python] Selenium ChromeDriver "get" doesn't reliably load @import fonts

I have a few HTML pages like this:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<style>@import url(https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Droid+Serif:400,700,400italic);
body { font-family: 'Droid Serif'; }</style>
</head>
...


When loading the page with Selenium:

from selenium import webdriver
chrome_options = webdriver.ChromeOptions()
chrome_options.add_argument('--kiosk-printing')
browser = webdriver.Chrome(r"chromedriver.exe", options=chrome_options)
browser.get("http://www.example.com/")


then:

• 50% of the time, the font doesn't get loaded (the page is displayed with default serif font (Times New Roman probably))
• 50% of the time, the font is loaded

How to make font loading more reliable with Selenium?

Even re-loading the page a second time with time.sleep(2); browser.get(...) didn't help 100% of the time.
