Description
Right now we're using Google's Web Fonts embed code:
http://www.google.com/webfonts/family?family=Carter%20One#code
This retrieves the font files from Google's servers. In the future we should store the files locally.

I have downloaded this Lato Font from: http://www.fontsquirrel.com/fonts/lato and in woff format. I put the font files within mediagoblin/mediagoblin/static/fonts/

Hiya shawn,
Great! I think the proper thing here though would be to actually put it in extlib/ then symlink it via ln -s to mediagoblin/static/fonts/
I think details on the licensing should be checked into the extlib/ directory also. Copying willkg on here for comment.
I know you prefer sending patches but this particular one might be more properly done via a git commit to a branch... I'm not sure that a patch can do the symlinking right and etc. If you don't have experience with that, now's a great time to learn! See the resources on the wiki ;)
This is a bitesized task for someone who wants to take it on.
