Plugin Information
Smart Web Fonts Control is powerful plugin that can easily add any of the free Google Web Fonts or Adobe Edge Fonts to your website. Plugin allows auto update for fonts, and it can always get latest list of available fonts from Google (requires Google API key) or Adobe. For Google, you can use Google WebFont Loader. But, adding fonts is only one of the thing plugin can do. You can preview in great detail each font, test different sizes and weights. You can include any font to load and you can enable fonts for direct integration in the WordPress TinyMCE editor. And finally, you can add rules based on the CSS selectors and apply to each selector: font family, style settings (color, size, line height, weight, letter spacing…), text shadows and custom CSS properties. All that with easy preview of all selector settings. Selector editor supports drag’n’drop to reorder applied rules. Themes and plugins can hook into the plugin and add own rules for easier customization.

Important
- Due to limitations of both WordPress TnyMCE editor and Adobe Web Fonts method of loading, you can’t see preview of Adobe Web Fonts inside the Editor. Once the post is saved and displayed in the frontend, Adobe font you used will show as expected.
- Setting font and styles for selector rules might not have effect on the front end display if other CSS styles loaded on the page have rules that have higher priority. If the plugin Important properties don’t help, you need to write better selector rules for plugin to use.
- End result for settings and styles configured by the plugin may be different from preview due to additional influence of the styling of the theme stylesheet, browser or other external factors. Also, not all CSS properties are supported by older browsers.
