Webfonts are awesome but holy hell does EOT suck. Microsoft should be permanently banned from all standards decision making.
Sorry just had to vent a bit -_-

this innovation is really fascinating. Another thing that strikes me often on talk of Google and not only is that the speakers do not use that fucking tie as many Italian puppets. Unequivocal sign of freedom of thought and attention is paid to the substance and not appearance. In Italy, unfortunately, hard to innovation because of the so-called consulting companies, which are not dissimilar to the slave traders of the eighteenth century.

Too bad support for diacritics (at least the Romanian ones) is atrocious in the fonts Google offers.

Last question was brilliant. I was sitting with that question from the time he said that about text=.

Thumbs up for Google for introducing this technology …………something that was long overdue. Webdesigners can now use more fonts than was previously possible and they can do so without having to resort to guerilla tactics.

so I bought TypeDNA, but right now it doesn’t have the little Google Fonts icon that he shows in the demo. I assume (hope) it will be upgraded soon. (or I’ll figure out how to turn that feature on.)

I’m sorry not to see anything on the agenda about improving web font quality.

@marekventur It’s “STIX”. Can’t provide a link in a comment, but Googling for “STIX fonts” will find it as the first hit.

I’ve been using Google fonts for a few months now. They seem to work great on my sites. I’ve just bought the TypeDNA plug in as well so I can use them within CSS. Hoping they will also work well for print.

webfont API is no good if it doesn’t work in Chrome (Mac).

@goozak thx!

it would be great if instead of providing a hard-coded text in the “text=” parameter, we could specify a regular expression.. for example, i want to use characters from a-z and only digits 0-9.. so i shld be able to specify text=[a-z][0-9]

Utterly awesome. I want to have Google Font’s babies.

Where can I find this “sticks” symbol font the questioner is asking about during the q&a session? It might be that this auto-captionizing didn’t got the spelling right.
