I did.. it's very nice and simple.. the font collection is weak but the great thing about it is that you can rock Typekit libraries too.

I like it .. it's simple and it works - but some of the fonts don't work equally as well on IE and other browsers .. make sure you double check before using a typeface on a production site.

^ yes.. the problem with fonts.. especially on typekit is that they look like shit on Windows and are not really screen/pixel optimized..
So it looks great on Macs because of heavy aliasing in a browser but crap everywhere else..

Wow haven't seen this! It's actually pretty rad IMO.
Sure the fonts aren't that amazing, but there's enough on there to find one that's "close," at least for the type of clients I usually work with.
