What Hacker News says
4 sourcesRoboto is already being loaded from google fonts (https://github.com/rsms/interface/blob/b91dd3af/docs/lab/ind...) However, I think Chrome might do something weird where it fails to actually load the font files when later the font family "Roboto" is requested (https://github.com/rsms/interface/blob/b91dd3af/docs/lab/ind...) — a common hack for this issue is to have an invisible element in the document that explicitly uses the font and forces the browser to load it at document-load time. Could try that hack here.
Anyhow, the version of Roboto served from google fonts is an older version and a subset of the "real" roboto, as can be fetched from roboto's source code repository.

Edit: https://twitter.com/stuartpb/status/900484392472109056 points out that @import must be at the beginning of a style declaration. Website has been updated.
This is by design. A wider "O" would indeed make separating zero from "O" easier (and an earlier iteration of Interface had a wider "O") but it adds some uneven pace to how longer words and sentences read.
The hope is to add a stylistic set for character disambiguation to the font, which when enabled would enable graphic features on glyphs like upper-case "i" and lower-case "l", zero and "O", and so on. Tracked here: https://github.com/rsms/interface/issues/1
