Google has released embeddable web fonts today, giving us an easy and reliable way of embedding fonts other than Arial, Verdana, Georgia, zzzzzz...

code.google.com/webfonts

My initial impression is that this is fantastic but as with anything technical, don't use it unless you have a great reason for doing so and make sure that it degrades gracefully. For one, I saw a comment of problems with the iPhone (just glancing).

Early days, great news, have fun

    For a second there i thought it was fantastic news until i checked what fonts are currently supported. Not to say that's a bad thing, in fact they have chosen a good selection of fonts to be begin with.

    It's just that i was under the impression just about any font under the sun was now supported.

    Having said that, i definitely will be using these on my next project cheeeyah

      Do you think that those fonts serve the purpose of other established fonts such as, tahoma, verdana, etc?
