You can hear in www.youtube.com/watch?v=QTX1lU97z08 the following:
Q: How is the support for international characters in the current — in the
family of web fonts that are in the Web site? Do they have an extended
character set, or do they mostly support Latin and Western European?.
Raph Levien: Another great question. We’ve been slowly building out the range
of international character set. So we have — most of the fonts are supporting
Latin. A growing number of the fonts are also supporting Cyrillic and Greek and
a few other, like, Latin extended ranges. There are a few others. We actually
have a lot of Khmer fonts in the directory. For the more complex scripts,
we’re working with the browser manufacturers, of course, including Chrome, to
really make the support for those scripts bulletproof. One of the things that
we really try to do in the Google web fonts is make all of our fonts rock
solid. We don’t want to have anything in there that only works a little bit
or only works in some cases. So we’re really trying to make the support for
that 100% rock solid before we roll it out. But it is definitely important for
Google to make these fonts worldwide, all languages. And so that’s what
we’re working on..

Hindi-Devnagri and Punjabi-Gurumukhi can be useful to several million google
users across Asia, Europe and North America. Google, hopefully, will workout
fool proof web-fonts that will benefit users of several languages namely,
Sanskrit, Pali, Hindi, Marathi, Nepali, Dogri, Maithili, Punjabi and so forth
across the globe. My best wishes for a successful creation of web- fonts for
these languages. Rajnath
