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

    • Tested, and working in most recent Mac versions of:
      Safari
      Opera
      Firefox

      This is very exciting. God I'm a geek.
  • That is amazing. Thanks for sharing it.

    I will be testing it later on today or tomorrow.

    If anyone encounters any issues with it please let us know.
  • Very nice! the Molengo looks stunning, thanks GOOGLE!
  • 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
  • NBrandt: Thanks for sharing these great Google fonts! I will definitely be experimenting with these too.
  • Love experimenting with anything new for website design. Thanks to betsyanne for sharing this news... and thanks to Google

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