no Cental European support #10

Right now, there is no CE support in G.Webfonts (only Roman script i 
available). Could you enable it? There're potential users in that part of the 
globe :)

Particularly annoying because many of the fonts, such as Droid, *do* include 
Central European and even Cyrillic characters. At the very least, the full 
versions of the fonts should be made available as an option.

Extending the range of included characters would, indeed, be welcome. If this 
is by design (to keep the file size as low as possible), would having a new 
latin subset (called e. g. latin-extended) be a possible solution?

Those blocks would include Latin extended-A (0100–017F), Latin extended-B 
(0180–024F) and the additional characters (1E00–1EFF).

This is already fixed. Example:

<link 
href='http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Ubuntu+Condensed&subset=latin-ext' 
rel='stylesheet' type='text/css'>

I don't think it is really fixed. Many fonts, although they originally have 
Latin Extended support, don't include many of these characters when served by 
Google Web Fonts(e.g., Signika).

You can see this very clearly by browsing fonts with one of CE pangrams, e.g. 
"Příšerně žluťoučký kůň úpěl ďábelské ódy." or "Kŕdeľ 
ďatľov učí koňa žrať kôru."
