2010. In May 2010 Google opened its font directory. All fonts in the directory are available for use on your website under an open source license and served by Google servers. The company created the Font API that makes it easy to add web fonts to any web page you own. They advertised their API with an example text saying "Making the web beautiful" written in a font called "Tangerine" (see screenshot below).
