I think hosting these somewhere fast and easy to get at and giving them good
terms is a good thing.  I don't think they should be included with Chrome by
default.  Part of the point of @font-face is to allow usage of fonts users
don't have, making this less compelling; and I'm always opposed to larger
download sizes.  In this case, it's not obvious to me that there is a lot of
demand for these or that we would bootstrap such demand by including them
with Chrome.
