Have you guys seen Google's new app. You can use any font they have in their library on your web page. They don't have much there at the moment, but they are calling for submissions from Open source Font designers so it should get populated fairly quickly.

This thing is really catching on.  Now we don't have to stick with just the web safe fonts for development. I am doing my website with HTML5 and CSS3 with fontface for typography. It dramatically improves the content presentation. 

You can also try font squirrel for fontface kits.  – http://www.fontsquirrel.com/fontface

Just for comparison's sake, there's TypeKit (http://typekit.com/) as well… but it hardly compares to FontSquirrel. Good choice if you don't want to host it yourself, though.
