just got ever so excited about the new Google Font API...

and I tried it out.

Easy peasy. Even a HTML/CSS retarded eejit like me can do it.
BUT.

Only 18 fonts (at time of writing) to choose from, I tried out 'Inconsolata' and 'IM Fell DW Pica' and well... ummm. The kerning on inconsolata was painful to watch. Really bloody painful. And IM Fell was just wrong.

And then I got worried that despite the cross compatibility promises it might not be all that. So I binned the idea.


So now I'm going to go try TypeKit. They have Museo. I think Museo will work nicely. Mixed with Calluna, maybe.
