How do I install 2 Google Fonts?

  • Hello everyone,

    I realize there are many plugins for this. However, I am looking for a way to directly install 2 Google Fonts I like and then define it in CSS. Is this possible? Please provide me steps to do this. It would be greatly appreciated because I can’t find a good YouTube tutorial to help me out.

    Thanks so much.

    Your Friend in OnePress,
    Brody

  • There are loads of information showing you how to implement googlefonts into your theme.

    When making any changes to a theme it should be done so via the use of a Child Theme.

    Add this to your functions.php file:

    function custom_googlefonts() {
	wp_enqueue_style( 'googlefonts', 'https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Raleway|Open+Sans', false );
}
add_action('wp_enqueue_scripts', 'custom_googlefonts');

    Which you can reference within your style.css file:

    .classname {
    font-family:"Open Sans", sans-serif;
}

    Hope this helps.

    Cheers @themesumo. I will try out your example. I was able to use 2 google fonts by referencing it in css without installing any additional plugins or any changes to .php. How is this possible? I have the fonts installed on my hard drive. Does that make a difference?

    Does your .php code above ensure that everyone using an eligible browser can see the fonts I choose on their device? Do they have to install the fonts on their own? Additionally, does the function custom_googlefonts() give access to every google font without me having to install it on wordpress?

    Cheers
