How to download a font from Google Fonts?

Good afternoon!
Please tell me how to download a specific font from Google web fonts (in multi-format version). Google web fonts provides a different font file format for each browser.
I know that you can download the ttf format and then convert, but this is not, I would like the original source (the quality is excellent, some of the fonts do not tolerate conversion at all)

Everything is much more interesting there. As far as I understand Google Fonts gives css which automatically slips the required font type.
Let's take the Open Sans font as an example. On the "Use" tab, Google gives the following code for connecting:
Now we take and paste the link ( fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Open+Sans&subset=l... from the code into the Firefox 28 browser:

@font-face {
  font-family: 'Open Sans';
  font-style: normal;
  font-weight: 400;
  src: local('Open Sans'), local('OpenSans'), url(http://fonts.gstatic.com/s/opensans/v9/K88pR3goAWT7BTt32Z01mz8E0i7KZn-EPnyo3HZu7kw.woff) format('woff');
}

Now the same thing, but through the console wget
@font-face {
  font-family: 'Open Sans';
  font-style: normal;
  font-weight: 400;
  src: local('Open Sans'), local('OpenSans'), url(http://fonts.gstatic.com/s/opensans/v9/K88pR3goAWT7BTt32Z01m6CWcynf_cDxXwCLxiixG1c.ttf) format('truetype');
}

So you don't need to convert anything =)
