do search engines read webfonts?

    html5 webfonts are becoming a lot more popular with the wordpress themes i tend to use. do search engines pickup the text within the webfonts?

    for instance, would they pickup the Lorem ipsum headings and subheadings in this theme demo? http://www.unispheredesign.com/demo/minim/white/

    please advise. thanks in advance.
