How to expand the fonts in WordPress

With WordPress you can create your own blog relatively comfortably and quickly. And even more so, the popular open source software has evolved into a solid content management system (CMS) in recent years that is finding more and more followers.

But of course, with the proliferation, the demands of users on such software grow.

The number of available fonts, and above all their customization options are a bit meager in our view, and so surely some people here wish for a little more choice.

The solution is as usual in WordPress in the appropriate plugin.

1. Install Easy Google fonts

First we install the plugin Easy Google Fonts.

You can do this either in our description via the interface in WordPress, or you can download the plugin separately here and then install it externally.

Go to the backend of your page in the left menu bar to the point: Plugins – Install

See picture: (click to enlarge)

Here you have the option of either uploading plugins that can not be found via the search directly from your hard disk, or simply using the search function to simply search for the plugin.

Simply enter: Easy Google Fonts in the search field, and the desired plug-in will appear in the selection, where you can then simply install it via the corresponding button and finally activate it.

2. Set Font Control Name

Since you have the possibility to create several font groups with Easy Google fonts, we first have to define a group and name it after the installation.

To do this, go to the back of your page again in the menu bar on the left: Settings – Google Fonts

And assign a name under the tab: Edit Font Controls of the font group.

4. Adjust size, colors and distances

There are hardly any options that you will miss with this really fantastic plugin.

Not only do we have the ability to customize the font (for example, Times New Roman, Antic Slab, etc.), but we can also set the color, spacing, height, positioning, and more for each type of font.
