Love the module, especially now that it supports TypeKit, which I love. One thing that has struck me as add is that in order to get the fonts to your site, you first have to make the kit on TypeKit, then the fonts will show up as available to add in the @font-your-face "add fonts" section. So to actually use the fonts from your kit, you then have to add each font from the TypeKit kit. This seems a but odd to me since each TypeKit kit is created for a specific site anyways, so you essentially have to add the font twice. Once on TypeKit, and then once you have that kit in Drupal, you have to add them to your Drupal site. To me it would make more sense to automatically add all of the fonts from the kit to Drupal for use.

Is there any particular reason that you have to add fonts from a kit that is made for just that site anyways?

The main reason Typekit fonts aren't automatically enabled is that I hope to eventually be able to enable fonts only in @font-your-face, without needing to go back to Typekit.com. Enabling fonts is already possible in the Typekit API. Unfortunately, previews are not, and few people would know which fonts they want to add without being able to see previews first. I believe the Typekit people intend to add previews to the API eventually, so I've been waiting for that. With previews, @font-your-face could show all Typekit fonts available under your current account and enable and disable them via the API as you enable and disable them within Drupal.

That said, I agree auto-enabling Typekit fonts makes sense as a stop-gap until previews are possible. If you want to submit a patch, I'd be happy to review and add it. Otherwise, I'll probably keep waiting for preview to be added to Typekit's API.
