Integrating googlefonts in Ruby on Rails 3.2 application

Question

I have to use fonts form Google in one Rails application . The ordinary HTML code defines googlefonts usage like this :

<link href='http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=PT+Sans:400,700,400italic' rel='stylesheet' type='text/css'>

I tried to add the same line in my alpplication.html.erb , but it didn't work . Then I extracted the @font-face definitions (from the location pointed by link-href) into a separate css.scss file and included the file in my manifest css file :

#googlefonts.css.scss
@font-face {
font-family: 'PT Sans';
font-style: italic;
font-weight: 400;
src: local('PT Sans Italic'), local('PTSans-Italic'), url(http://themes.googleusercontent.com/static/fonts/ptsans/v4/xxxx.woff) format('woff');

}

#application.css

   *= require googlefonts
   *= require_tree .

It did not happen again.

Please, help me solve the puzzle. What is the best practice of using fonts, hosted in Google in Rails 3 application ?

EDIT : Here is my css, referring to @font-face definition :

#styles.css.scss
body{
font-family: "PT Sans", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size:13px;
line-height:25px;
text-shadow:none !important;
color:#444;
}

I think I've found the problem :

Refinery has partial for head section , located in refinery/ dir. The format of this partial is .erb (default) . My application.html is .haml format . When I converted the _head.thml.erb to _head.html.haml , it worked nicely . Setting google fonts is simple , just like Stephenmurdoch described in his answer .
