Is there a way to use a google font and have it load only [A-Z] and the & ampersand character? I would like to do this to reduce size and improve load time, since I will only use basic latin numbers and letters. I can host the font myself if I must and it is legal to manipulate the font package, but am not sure if self-hosting is necessary and how to manipulate google's font package. I have specified A-Z like this: http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Inconsolata&text=ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ but specifying & is troublesome. Both of these don't work: <link href='http://fonts.googleapis.com

By using Google Web Fonts can/does Google process the text of the webpage (despite disallowed by robots.txt) track the visitors of the webpage, and (theoretically) recognize them track the changes made to the webpage (despite robots.txt) Except knowing that another download is made to their font and css file, of course. :) I assume Google naturally would/could count and track the number of visitors of my webpage, is this right? edit: "I", "my" - I've tried to use these terms as "generally speaking" here Google can for sure count your users and track their IP address, browser version, and such.

I am using some Google Web Fonts. I hear that Google deal with all the issues between different browsers and serve different media depending on the browser in the request header. My question is, at what point does it do this? Reason being is that for the API you can simply include a CSS file which contains the @font-face request. Can I simply include that CSS in my own CSS file, thereby saving a HTTP request, or does that CSS change depending on the browser that requests it? I really hope that makes sense. E.g., Google suggest you include the following in your CSS file: @import url(http:/

I am trying to use google fonts in a simple website. The tag that I am using is <link href='http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Lobster' rel='stylesheet' type='text/css' > The css is body { padding: 0; text-align: center; line-height: 180%; background: #1a2426; color: #f7f7f7; font-family: 'Lobster', serif; } The problem is that the font looks pixelated when I pull it up in Chrome. I was wondering if anyone could explain why? Example sandeep It's not a problem of browser it's problem of windows.

Posting here is a bit of a long shot (I can´t reach the developer), but I´m having a problem with a font that I´m embedding using Google web fonts. The font I´m embedding is Molengo and the problem I have is that the capital Z does not show up in Firefox 4 nor in IE 9. It does show in Chrome 10. In Firefox 4 the character occupies space and in IE9 it is totally collapsed. I can reproduce the problem not only on my test site, but also on the official Google web fonts page . At least on my computer the box of the Z does not show the character in Fx4 and IE9 and I don´t have another machine at

I ran a speed test on my website and one of the suggestions was to reduce my external requests. I am using 3 Google Web Fonts, in effect 3 separate requests. Is it posible to combine these into 1 request? You can combine several fonts with just one call using the | character. Example: <link href='//fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Cantarell|Terminal+Dosis' rel='stylesheet' type='text/css'> Aren't Fonts (like image assets, JSON objects, or videos) separate resources that need individual requests? You can avoid the three requests by embedding the fonts in data: URIs inside the CSS - at least in

So I have been looking around and can't seem to find a solution on how to get PhantomJS to actually display webfonts on screenshots, can anyone tell me if there is a way to do this? I have been testing and testing for about a week now and finally came up with the answer, know that this might also be a result of me running PhantomJS on a Windows machine. I am currently running PhantomJS v1.9.7 and have found the following solution: Using this in my CSS file: @font-face { font-family: 'Vampiro One'; src: url(http://themes.googleusercontent.com/static/fonts/vampiroone/v3/Ho2Xld8UbQyBA8XLxF1
