Google Web Fonts

By John Swindells 12 Sep 2011 | Comment

Google Web Fonts lets you browse all the fonts available via the Google Web Fonts API. All fonts in the directory are available for use on your website under an open source license and are served by Google servers.

Here is a quick example supplied at Google Labs: http://code.google.com/apis/webfonts/docs/getting_started.html#Quick_Start.

Here is some example HTML that you would put on your website:

<html>
  <head>
    <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Tangerine">
    <style>
      body {
        font-family: 'Tangerine', serif;
        font-size: 48px;
      }
    </style>
  </head>
  <body>
    <h1>Making the Web Beautiful!</h1>
  </body>
</html>

Here's an example: Making the Web Beautiful!
