Can nice fonts really be this simple?

Google's people made some real basic web font stuff. Finally, after over a decade, this may be enough of a push behind good web fonts for the web to start looking designed. Granted you are linking to yet another external file, but better Google's many servers than mine.

http://code.google.com/apis/webfonts/

Here's the sample code they give.
<html>
<head>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Tangerine">
<style>
body {
font-family: 'Tangerine', serif;
font-size: 48px;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<h1>Making the Web Beautiful!</h1>
</body>
</html>
