I have not tried this myself since it was just announced very, very recently. But it looks like a good alternative right now.

WebFont Loader: http://code.google.com/apis/webfonts/docs/webfont_loader.html

And this: Google Fonts API http://code.google.com/apis/webfonts/docs/getting_started.html

There are also a couple more alternatives which have not been mentioned yet.

Such as Cufon and sIFR. Cufon is Javascript based and sIFR is Flash based
