Google Web Fonts

[EMan]

Has anyone successfully used this in a GWT project?

http://code.google.com/apis/webfonts/docs/getting_started.html#Quick_Start

I tried to add these fonts to some uiBinder elements, but I can't get
it to work.

What is the best way to get the font css files to link up?

Thanks.

Have you tried putting the link in your html file?

Interesting anyway, I hadn't heard of it, looks great. I wonder what
is the trick (canvas elements?).

From what I read they are just web fonts which means their font css style sheets need to be loaded via a link tag and once they are loaded they are used as any other font would be using standard css font attributes. The Technical Considerations documentation, located at http://code.google.com/apis/webfonts/docs/technical_considerations.html, goes into some detail as to how the actual font style sheets are rendered which is browser dependent and only the browsers listed in this document, http://code.google.com/apis/webfonts/faq.html#Browsers_Supported, are supported.

Some of these fonts really look great and can really add some finesse to a page if applied with some restraint :).

Another very cool service from Google provided to us struggling web developers... how cool is that?

Now I am wondering if these fonts can be used via ClientBundles. Hmmm...

No trick apparently, @font-face.

Too bad the fonts (quite predictably) miss many characters and there's no way to complete them. I'd participate glady.

...and then you read those drama queens on Engadget crying that Google has added ads to GMail UI or ceased to autocomplete suspicious keywords. :(

Yup, I believe you are right :)

I got it working with my GWT app by just putting the link into the
HTML file (that includes the GWT JS) and using the font as you would
use any font (like verdana) in your CSS file. No @font-face required.

Yes adding it into the main HTML file seems to work now for me.
Thanks.
