Google Font Api and Directory

[stix]

Simply by linking to a particular font, stored on Google’s servers (save on bandwidth + caching benefits), we now have access to a wide array of custom fonts. Quite literally, you can integrate these fonts into your project in about 20 seconds. It’s as simple as that. Further, due to the operations being performed behind the scenes, these custom fonts will even be recognized back to Internet Explorer 6. I, for one, and am extremely excited about the possibilities, and the font catalog is surely to continue expanding over the coming years.

Interesting ...it's clearly just using the @font-face method to include the fonts, but it does simplify things quite a bit

Still not completely convinced by the whole @font-face method - fonts don't always render very smoothly. Still prefer the rendering of the cufon technique - though it does have it usability issues.

Yea rendering is an issue as is copyright - if you still respect it in the morning.
