[theme-reviewers] Google Fonts

[Chip Bennett]

For *bundled* fonts, you'll want to refer to this list of approved font
licenses <http://codex.wordpress.org/Theme_Review#Licensing>, in the Theme
Review Guidelines. (Note: it should be the same list as what GNU have
listed.)

I can't think of any objections to using the Google Font API under any
circumstances (though someone may challenge me on that?). All you're doing
is adding in a link to an external CSS file.
