Share is how much of the page’s custom-font text each font draws. System fonts and icon fonts are never counted. Each site was opened twice in a real browser and Chrome was asked which font file drew each piece of text. We count a font for a site only if both runs saw it and it drew at least 2% of the site’s custom-font text. The full method.
