Loading

the rendering displays the messageText with an awkward spacing that makes it look like the messageText belongs to the previous arrow, with extra undesirable vertical spacing.

This appears to be related to this mermaid issue discussion, where user knsv comments on Jul 19, 2019 that it is likely because mermaid is initialized before dynamically-loaded fonts are finalized.

Screenshot

Provide steps to reproduce:

1. In an active hackmd, paste in the supplied mermaid block
2. see awkward spacing :(
