Google webFont API browser compatibility

Question

I was going through this:

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

(Which BTW I think is fantastic)

And was wondering how compatible its is with older browsers?

And specially with good ol´ IE 6...

Thank you very much!

Answer 1

From the FAQ:

What browsers are supported?

The Google Font API is compatible with the following browsers:

• Google Chrome: version 4.249.4+
• Mozilla Firefox: version: 3.5+
• Apple Safari: version 3.1+
• Opera: version 10.5+
• Microsoft Internet Explorer: version 6+

The Google Font API is not currently supported on iPhone, iPad, iPod, or Android.

So yes, you can indeed use this with IE6.

Answer 2

IE 6 supports nothing.

For reliable cross-browser support (IE 8, Firefox 3.x, Opera 10.x, older Webkits) you should probably stick to TTF/OTF formats. Sorry, I misread the question.
