You want to use something like OpenSans from google's font api, which means that there is a very good chance that the user already has this document in their browser cache. Its also fairly tiny.

If they comprise half of a 1 megabyte pageload, there's ALOT wrong. In this case they're not tiny, they are 50% of the entire page load. For stuff 80% of people won't even see.

If font files are 2% of the pageload or less, it's not a issue. This is 50. That's half.
