Answer 1

You don't really need to do any of this.

• Go to Google's Web Fonts page
• search for Roboto in the search box at the top right
• Select the variants of the font you want to use
• click 'Select This Font' at the top and choose the weights and character sets you need.

The page will give you a element to include in your pages, and a list of sample font-family rules to use in your CSS.

Using Google's fonts this way guarantees availability, and reduces bandwidth to your own server.
