About webfonts deployment, I'd recommend you consider doing both Google Font Directory hosting and a dedicated Ubuntu-specific subdomain under the control of Canonical. The Ubuntu-specific subdomain would also allow for useful statistics to be gathered and shared publically.

 It's worth noting that maintainers of the Google Font Directory have a strict policy on licensing: only fonts under Apache2 and OFL1.1 have been considered for inclusion, the vast majority of fonts are released under the OFL (many authors have relicensed to OFL when submitting their creation to the directory). See Raph's introduction post: " Almost all the fonts are under the Open Font License, and in our discussions I've been sensing a huge amount of momentum behind this license.
