Question: Are there any sites except google that provide a library that one can link directly to in your css file?

Like google-webfonts @font-face so that they're hosting, and no local files for you.

```
{
    font-family: 'Yanone Kaffeesatz';
    font-style: normal;
    font-weight: 400;
    src: url('http://themes.googleusercontent.com/font?kit=YDAoL...JF4')
         format('truetype');
}

```

Answer: 
There is Typekit ( <http://typekit.com/> ), but it isn't free.
If you're after Japanese fonts, M+ fonts allow hot-linking and have instructions on how to do so on their site:

<http://mplus-fonts.sourceforge.jp/webfonts/index-en.html>

The license is open & free:

You didn't specify a particular language - and these fonts do have english characters in their font sets as well.
