Our Experience with Google Fonts


The Google Fonts API is probably the easiest of the services listed here to
get started with, mostly because there is no sign-up process. You simply
browse the fonts they offer, select one, and then get the code. Link the
stylesheet in your Web site՚s head, and then add the font to the font stack
in your stylesheet.


The service is very fast, with only a barely noticeable lag before loading the
proper font. The fact that there are no limits on usage of the service puts it
among the top contenders on this list. The only major drawback is the
limited number of fonts available.
