According to the spec, the fonts can be automatically fetched and downloaded _when_needed_. In a quick check (in Chrome 33) the font was not downloaded if the first font was available (I used Arial, and Open-Sans). I think this will hold true for fonts from services such as Google Fonts since, in the case of Google atleast, it's just adding the @font-face declaration which in turn has the url().
