Google Font API offers free custom fonts

Posted on 19:44 by Unknown
Did you know, Google's new Font API lets you display text on your web page with custom fonts served from their server farm? (Thanks Chris)

There are currently 19 fonts, some with multiple variations, in the Google Font Directory. Their site informs that all fonts in the directory are available for use on your website under an open source license and are served by Google servers. You can use CSS or JavaScript to embed them. There is a Font previewing tool to fine tune how the letters should look.

This program is in beta & it is supported mostly on newer versions of popular browsers.
