I'm not sure why Hanuman isn't on the fonts list, but it is in the Google Font 
Preview tool and it has a standalone info page:
http://code.google.com/webfonts/family?family=Hanuman

It is only valid for the Khmer language, which limits it to a small set of 
users.
I may remove it from the extension for that reason.

It is precisely because few people have Khmer installed on their systems that 
having Hanuman as a web font is so valuable. That way sites using both English 
and Khmer can display text in both languages without the page looking wacko.

I agree with comment number 2, this extension would be great for users of 
lesser-used scripts. If you let users create a favourites list, which you'll 
have to do anyway once google's webfonts are too numerous to list (1000+), then 
people who read/write these scripts could have a list of fonts that support 
their script to switch a web page into, if the font the author uses a font that 
doesn't work right (especially for AAT / OpenType / Graphite fonts that have 
incorrect rules). This is even more problematic if the author is providing his 
own (say OpenType) font via @font-face to users who's systems may not support 
the OpenType shaping rules for that script.

Please try the extension now, I added the favorites feature and improved the 
support for other scripts.
