Automatically Calculating Google Font Aspect Values

The data is what I'm using to build a page to normalize fonts sizes at: fonts.alanwsmith.com

Footnotes

Aspect values can be used by font-size-adjust to normalize the sizes of fonts.

The giant source for free web fonts. Sucks that they use them for tracking unless you pull down and serve your own copy.
