I had a little fun this morning playing around with Google Font API. With just a couple of quick codes on your webpage, blog or website, you can really style your sites using over a dozen beautiful fonts available from the Google Font Directory. The usage is pretty straightforward. See sample below. Just add a stylesheet reference in your header. Add some CSS elements in your stylesheets. Tada. Your done. Your website is now using Google’s web fonts. The advantage is you get a choice of high quality open source fonts, it works in most browsers, and it’s extremely easy to use.
Header
<link rel=”stylesheet” type=”text/css” href=”http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Tangerine”>
Stylesheet
body { font-family: ‘Tangerine’, serif; }
If you want a little bit more control, flexibility and speed, you can use Font Loader. It’s a little bit more involved. It requires the use of Javascipt. You can also take advantage of TypeKit.
