Free web font combinations

From the introduction: "There are so much typefaces in the Google web fonts directory. Many of them are awful. But there are also high-quality typefaces that deserve a closer look. Below are examples of these typefaces in action. Hover for name of typeface and click the texts of examples to get the typeface from the Google web fonts directory." I agree, it's a nice collection and a good place to start when looking for a free non-awful web font.

Flattr

Fattr is a creative attempt at establishing a hassle-free micropayment system. Users specify a monthly amount they want to "share" with content creators. Sharing is as easy as clicking on the "flattr"-Button on an interesting article, video. At the end of each month, the monthly amount is divided among all "things" that have been flattr'd. I'm waiting for my invitation...
