Is WordPress Gutenberg Block Compatibility Available?

Currently, the plugin does not support Gutenberg blocks. However, you can explore Web Fonts Loader Pro, which offers this functionality and more.

If you prefer to use the plugin, you can still do so by using the Classic Editor or setting global fonts through the plugin's options page.

How to Apply a Font Family or Weight to All Text on a Specific Page or Post?

To apply a specific font family or weight, select your desired option without highlighting any text in the editor.

Applying Fonts to a Lead Paragraph or Heading

To apply a font to a specific paragraph or heading, double-click on the text of the element. This will select the entire text, allowing you to assign your desired font family or weight.

Identifying the Font Family or Weight on an Element

To identify the font family or weight applied to an element, click on it once. If a Google font family or weight is applied, the Toolbar options will display the details.

Applying Font Family or Weight Site-Wide

Go to Appearance > Web Fonts Loader in your WordPress admin menu. There, you'll find all the settings needed for global font application.

Note: Applying fonts and styles to individual elements through the Classic Editor will override global font settings.
