Lato Broken in Chrome and IE

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Viewing Lato in Chrome or any version of IE will display a serif font that is 
not Lato. 

Lato should load cross-browser as most other google fonts do. Chrome and IE 
think that Lato is loading so even a font stack such as 'Lato', Trebuchet MS, 
Arial, sans-serif; does not work, you always get the serif font. This is the 
same behavior on the official google fonts Lato page so I know it is not a site 
specific problem.

Lato seems to load fine in FireFox and Safari.

I'm having the same issue with the Lato font in IE. It's rendering in other 
browser fine, even Chrome. I've attached images of how it's rendering in IE vs 
Firefox

I am seeing the same results.  I have stopped using Google fonts for any 
production work.

I used the workaround described in Issue 9 -- calling the different font 
variants separately in an IE-only style sheet -- and Lato is working fine for 
me in all major browsers now.
