Saw this today. 20 second integration, sounds easy enough.
“Google have made two huge announcements today. One of these concerns the Google Fonts API. Simply by linking to a particular font, stored on Google’s servers (save on bandwidth + caching benefits), we now have access to a wide array of custom fonts. Quite literally, you can integrate these fonts into your project in about 20 seconds. It’s as simple as that. Further, due to the operations being performed behind the scenes, these custom fonts will even be recognized back to Internet Explorer 6. I, for one, and am extremely excited about the possibilities, and the font catalog is surely to continue expanding over the coming years.”
I hope the font list grows (there is a shortage of bold variants for example)
A little concerned as another bit of the net is being sucked up by the almighty google. And having parts of the site hosted elsewhere although I’m sure Google’s servers are not likely to down :-/

Just did a check in litmus just to see how the fonts display on PC and the fonts don’t work on Firefox 2.
