WTF is going on with Lato Google Hosted (not sure about fontface) Font??? On IE 8, the font looks scrambled with letters missing and word spaces missing and I hear that it's the same on earlier (not so earlier) versions of firefox!
What's the point of a font / or a hosted a font when you can't read it on many browsers!! Lato went from hero to zero for me unless someone has a fix for it?

Metrisch (OTF) Another font similar to Lato is the humanist typeface style called Metrisch. This sans-serif type family has a clean, modern structure and features smooth, refined looks similar to the Lato typeface.
Due to the fact that it is a Microsoft Default font dedicated to in-own-software usage (e.g. for Word, Excel, PowerPoint), it does not give us neither the possibility, nor the legal right to work with it outside Microsoft softwares (e.g. work with vectors).
Lato is perhaps the most unique and interesting sans-serif font on this list. It was designed by Łukasz Dziedzic and includes 10 styles. It goes from thin all the way to ultra-bold. The letters in Lato have some unique curves which can only be seen in larger sizes.
Google Fonts: LatoLato is a sans serif typeface family started in the summer of 2010 by Warsaw-based designer Łukasz Dziedzic (“Lato” means “Summer” in Polish). In December 2010 the Lato family was published under the Open Font License by his foundry tyPoland, with support from Google.
Lato 2.0 was released on Google Fonts today, however it has a problem:
Adam Twardoch, font developer, says, "In Lato 1, I used FontLab Studio to autohint the two thinnest weights and ttfautohint for the rest. In Lato 2, I used ttfautohint for all. This seems to not have been a good idea. I'll see what I can do about it very soon."
Meanwhile, the Google Fonts API will rollback the update today.

The font was updated today, but the hinting regressed, so the update is being rolled back.
