Webmonkey's Scott Gilbertson reports on the announcements by Google of a
new font API and actual font collections. Also Typekit has released
javascript to make the rendering pretty & smooth.

fyi:

> Google has announced a new Font API and a collection of free, open
> source fonts anyone can use in their site designs for free. The
> Google Font API allows you to embed any of the new Google fonts on
> your website using CSS.
>
> The fonts themselves are quite nice, with a range of script, serif,
> sans-serif and monospace typefaces. They can all be used to style
> text via @font-face. There are only eighteen fonts available � so
> there�s probably no need for Typekit to worry that Google is muscling
> in on its territory.
>
> In fact, Typekit has partnered with Google to announce WebFont
> Loader, a JavaScript library for improving the web font experience.
> Typekit will also be adding Google�s new free fonts to its
> collection, so there�s clearly still a lot of love there.
>
> The WebFont Loader is an open source library of scripts that Typekit
> developed to help eliminate the �flash of unstyled text� page load
> hiccup that we�ve mentioned before. The WebFont Loader offers a
> number of JavaScript events which allow developers more control over
> when their fonts load.
