How Google Web Font works ?

I just discovered Google Web Font and I was really interested in how this tool could work...

With just a 

<link href='http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Gloria+Hallelujah' rel='stylesheet' type='text/css'>

You can use whatever Google has in his fonts collection.

Do you have any idea on how this stuff works ?

It simply returns CSS that includes @font-face rules that allow you to use fonts that are accessible over the web versus on the client's local machine. Note that not all browsers support @font-face.

Choose a font here

http://www.google.com/webfonts#ChoosePlace:select

and select Quick use

When you're on the font page, scroll down a little and you'll have 3 choice to add this font in standard mode, @import or javascript.

This stuff is simply working by loading the @face-font from Google's server without you have to install them on yours. This could result to a faster loading but more you and custom web font, more time it will take to load. So choose wisely.
