I appreciate your hard work on this. Unfortunately, I won't be merging these changes in. Requiring each user to install a bookmarklet in their browser to take advantage of the drag and drop functionality is asking too much. Additionally, I don't like the workflow of having two browser windows next to each other and dragging and dropping between them. It's just not a good enough user experience for me to add to the main experience of the repo.
If you'd like to make it easy for users to test google fonts in their sites, then I would suggest pre-populating some of the fonts in the drop down that appears in your bookmarklet. No need to drag and drop, and but everyone who's already installed your bookmarklet can easily test these fonts on their site.
no dramas
I think this will be a great feature to have on your website it requires minor additions. Basically this pull request enables a user to drag any of the fonts into another browser window and have it render on the fly.

attributes to the anchor tagsYou can test it out by going to the bookmarklet test page or by adding the bookmarklet to you bookmarks and loading it on any website and then open up this hosted version of beautiful web type and drag some fonts.
If you're still not convinced watch this screencast demonstrating it working! Oh and it works in IE6+ too!
