You can check out the Google Font Directory right now!
They have even provided a JS loader so you can allow pages to load first then apply the font, rather than having a Flash of no content in some browsers whilst the font loads!
Not sure how many people here have experimented with Web Fonts yet but it's definitely something worth taking a look at! Especially because these solutions work in all modern browsers (including IE 6+) :D

100% yes, if the browser cannot find the font definition it falls back to the next font. In my example below this would be arial.
<link href="http://fonts.googleapis .com/css?family=Vollkorn" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css">
(remove the space before the .com)
Then in your CSS for your website reference the font like so:
h1 { font-family: "Vollkorn", arial, serif; }
Easy web fonts!!
