User sentiment analysis

Users appreciate the WordPress plugin's ability to seamlessly integrate fonts from platforms such as Google Fonts and fonts.com, enhancing the visual appeal of their websites. They find it useful for loading fonts directly into their sites after configuring the necessary API keys, and they commend its features like font samples, search functionality, and sorting options. However, drawbacks include the difficulty of initial setup for average users, unreliable server connections to fonts.com, lack of support and updates, and potential lag issues. Many users found it easier to directly use font service interfaces rather than the plugin, as they encountered persistent functionality problems and data-saving issues.

I don’t understand why the downvotes. In the newest version of WP now January 2018 the plugin still works after 4 years of nu updates. I entered my fonts.com API key, and the fonts load into the site directly. I think the other users just didn’t understand how to use this plugin. Anyways I’m here to tell you it does work with fonts.com

Este plugin permite agregar distintas fuentes a mi sitio de wordpress dando una apariencia agradable, es una solución simple para incorporar Google fonts a nuestros sitios webs. Una vez que lo he configurado su funcionamiento es mucho más sencillo, pero es un poco dificil para ser configurado por el usuario promedio

This plug in does nothing other than give you a link to either Google or Fonts.com. You have to do all the work from there. You can get free fonts from Google, Adobe or Fonts.com without having to use this plug in and you don’t need to identify yourself with an API key either.

Uses its own control panel area (I prefer if plugins only do this if they are quite important). Requires API key for Google fonts. This is not hard to do. It’s like… 3 steps. Shows samples of all fonts, and you can search on the fonts, as well as sort alphabetically, or by popularity, etc. This would be terrific, only I could not find how to get the selectors to work. In other words, for some reason, the data would not save to activate the selectors. Also, I am not sure if it lets you see all the different font variants, which would be helpful.
