In this tutorial viewers will learn how to embed custom externally-hosted Google Fonts using the Google Font API in CSS
Video Steps
1. Go to the Google Fonts website at google.com/fonts
2. Browse or search based on font properties or name to find a suitable font for your website. Preview custom text by typing in the "Preview Text" box and adjusting the size
3. To select a font for usage, click the blue "Add to Collection" button
4. You can select more than one font to create a font suite for your website but this will increase load time
5. Once all fonts are selected, click the "Use" button in the grey "Collection" box
6. Select the styles and character sets to embed in your website. More styles will increase load time, so only select those you will use
7. Copy the "Standard" code and paste it into the <head> of your webpage. If you're using a master stylesheet, you can open the CSS referenced in a new window and copy the CSS into your master stylesheet
8. Integrate the font into your CSS by defining any element's "font-family:" property as the font name
9. For maximum compatibility, define a back-up font after the Google font's name
