It might be a document type declaration issue

Since the question doesn't contain any actual information it's impossible to answer.

However, for reference to other Googlers, I can inform that Google will refuse to deliver any contents in the css file if you request more than 6 fonts using IE7 or IE8, instead it will say:

/*
 * Please request fewer web fonts for Internet Explorer or only the fonts which are used on this page.
 * Internet Explorer blocks and downloads ALL requested web fonts, whether they are used or not.
 * 
 * Requested web fonts: family=Ubuntu|Quicksand|Ewert|Condiment|Asap|Glegoo|Alike
 * 
 * We welcome feedback on our "moderator page" available at http://code.google.com/webfonts

They seem to be working fine for me.

One thing to keep in mind is if you're viewing the page locally Google Web Fonts will not load. You have to preview your page off of a server.

i.e.

localhost/project/index.html = good
C:\Project\index.html = bad
