Using Web Fonts in WordPress

[mouakter13]

Web fonts are the most popular way to add fonts to your website because they make it easy to add a wide range of fonts.

What are web fonts?
Web fonts are fonts that are hosted on a third-party provider's website. Instead of copying the files to your own site, you link to the provider's website and pull them from there.

This means that you have access to a wide variety of fonts without having to use up server space on your own hosting. It also means that if font files change over time, you don't have to update your files and you'll automatically have access to new versions of the provider's files.

Web fonts can be free or you can pay for them, usually benin phone number data through a subscription. Some popular providers include:

Google Fonts - The largest provider of free web fonts. You can also download all of their fonts to your computer, meaning if you want to create offline materials using the same fonts as your website, you can do so. And it's all free.
Adobe Edge Web Fonts – These are also free. Although they are designed to be used with Adobe products, they work well on any website.
Fonts.com is a premium font provider, which you may need to use if you need to match your web font to a font in your printed material and the font is not available through a free provider.
FontFabric is a font designer that provides premium fonts for use as web and online fonts. You will have to pay for them, but you will get something more individual than if you use Google Fonts.

All of these providers allow you to serve the fonts directly from their servers by adding code to your WordPress site or sometimes using a plugin which means you don't have to add any code.

Web fonts are different from web-safe fonts. You can use them as a fallback for web fonts in case your website visitor is unable to connect to the web font for some reason. I'll show you how to do that later in this post.
