Gosh, the new google fonts can be pretty

You can do stuff like this!

Or this!

See here for how it works.
(At least, I get two cool fonts in Firefox, dunno how well it works in IE)
EDIT: Gah! LJ is turning the "quote marks" into 39's - it's escaping them.
Any idea how to work around that in LJ?

I'm in Chrome, and the two fonts look exactly alike.

Same for me in Firefox. I wonder if the fonts themselves are cached on Andrew's machine but we're not picking them up?

Snap (Chrome) and snap (exactly alike) --- also, the two exactly-alike fonts are not cool fonts, they are mundane and dull (sorry A!)

Yeah - on Chromium on Debian they're just a standard serif font.

Right! It's some sort of boring serif font; nothing special.
