I still don't see the point of a service like this. With a tiny bit more work you have them on your own server, and you have all the control. If Google tomorrow decides to stop serving fonts, your design won't be broken.
With some services I understand people rather have it externally has it's a hassle to do it yourself, but @font-face is too easy to not do it.
- Jach 15y agoNote they let you download the .ttf's... But the idea is the same as using google apis for things like jquery. It lets you prototype quickly without having to load a new font on your server every time you want to test something different, if this gets popular and you're using a popular font chances are it'll already be in the user's browser cache, and most importantly from my perspective there isn't any ambiguity with this list as to which fonts I can and can't legally redistribute. Obviously don't count on Google to always be there for you.
