Google is great at making resources available for developers. They even host Javascript and other files so developers don't have to host it themselves. One of the most annoying aspects of creating webpages is the use of fonts. Usually you would have to make an image out of what you need, or you could use either a Javascript or a Flash solution. In fact, this site makes use of Cufon for it's special fonts.
Google has a solution. The Google Font API. If you know just even a tiny bit of CSS, you can use this. First you have a group of fonts that you can choose from. At the moment it is only a small selection but I am sure it will grow with time. You can visit the font library here.
After you pick a font you just insert the given code into your webpage. For example if I was to choose the Vollkorn font the code would be this:
<link href='http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Vollkorn' rel='stylesheet' type='text/css'>
Then you would make reference to the font using CSS:
h1 { font-family: 'Vollkorn', arial, serif; }
The nice thing about the code/font library is that it is compatible with even IE6. If the library grows to a couple hundred fonts I can see this as a valuable tool for serious production in the future.
