Saw this too, its a trending topic on twitter.  People, apparently, want
font linking.

Looking at the screenshot[1], they're using JavaScript to include the
font linking code.  This probably means that they fall back to flash or
pre-rendered images if the browser doesn't support the CSS.  They could
also be doing things like tracking the usage of fonts, injecting ads, or
obfuscating the download URL.  Just speculation, but an interesting idea.
