I\'ve been developing a site that uses the Google Fonts API. It\'s great, and supposedly has been tested in IE, but when testing in IE 8 the fonts simply don\'t get styled.<
I had the same problem with you. I found a solution using a Adobe Web Fonts code, work perfect in Internet Explorer, Chrome, Firefox and Safari.
