Hey guys

I have a problem with Google fonts not being responsive..

Do I have to setup a web font kit to be able to achieve this?

They're not responsive either. No font is automatically responsive... at least not yet.
You'll need to resize it at different breakpoints. Use ems, rems or % as recommended above.

Text within a responsive container (a column with a percentage width for example), will wrap to fit as the container shrinks, but the font size itself won't change. You have to make that happen.

You could also use some JS to resize your text: http://simplefocus.com/flowtype/ (works with Google Fonts)
