Wrong italics approach
Sorry to be so late, I missed your last message. I tried the plugin again and now is working as expected. So I changed my rating. Thanks!

It seems simple enough, but doesn't seem to do as advertised.
The fonts were easy to upload and define, but I was unable to see the new fonts afterwards. After trying different themes, different options and different settings for an hour, I was unable to make it work. If the plugin really does work, then some explicit instructions from the developer on how to actually make it work would be really helpful. As it ism I cannot use it.

Gave up on this one now using another one.
Had the same problem as others on the forum: selected Google fonts aren't visible in the elementor dropdown box. I disabled all other plugins except Elementor. No joy. The administrators say it works for them. So good luck with that. I also tried downloading the fonts I wanted and uploading them again to Custom Fonts but this caused other problems. Have now dumped Custom Fonts and use another plugin.

Italics mess up the entire font and must be uploaded as a a separate font
Italics are not working. As soon as they are added as a font variant all variants are shown as italics. Thus you need to set-up the italics as a separate font which makes it really cumbersome to use.This problem has been around for over a year and it seems nothing has been done to fix it. Not impressed. :-(

Best font management plugin
There are probably a dozen of fonts plugins out there with many if not most of them still use Customizer interface. Moving forward with the future of Wordpress, you want the plugin to be compatible with Full Site Editing framework, and this plugin works well with the new framework.

error: custom-fonts/classes/class-bsf-custom-fonts-render.php on line 194
in lines 194 of following path, there was a problem ... In the provided code snippet, the issue was occurring in the remove_custom_font_google_url method. This method is responsible for removing custom fonts from the Google fonts URL array. The problem was with the line: php code: if ( $value['font_fallback'] ) { Here, the code was trying to access the font_fallback index of $value directly without ensuring that $value['font_fallback'] exists and is not null. This could lead to issues if $value['font_fallback'] is not set. To fix this, I made the following changes: I added a check to see if $value['font_fallback'] exists and is not null using isset(): php code: if ( isset( $value['font_fallback'] ) && $value['font_fallback'] ) { If $value['font_fallback'] exists and is not null, then $value['font_fallback'] is appended to $font_key. Otherwise, $font_key remains the same. By adding this check, we ensure that the code doesn't try to access an undefined index, which could lead to the "Trying to access array offset on value of type bool" warning. Instead, it first checks if the index exists before attempting to access it.
