Hi Cliff. The collection of fonts that Google has were not all designed by google, they are just available through Google. People at Google collected them from all over the internet, and provide access to them through their servers as a means of making them available to everyone, everywhere so there is no need to use the default "safe" webfonts in web pages, which are not only proprietary, but quite limited.
And by being the CDN for the fonts, they get to see all sorts of interesting information about which websites each ip goes to ;)
