Use any font on your website, with just a few simple steps.

If you’ve ever tried to find an easy solution to bring your own fonts into your WordPress blog, you know it hasn’t existed… until now.  Recently, I found a premium plugin called Font Uploader, available through the Code Canyon website.   This plugin has already proven leaps and bounds easier than any others I’ve tried.   Rather than edit your php files, this allows you to set your fonts based on basic WordPress elements, such as Headers, Lists, Main Body.  But it goes beyond that — you have the ability to set your own fonts for specific CSS styles.

If you’re looking to add your own fonts to your site, this is the plugin for you.

A few tips to get you started

• Purchase the plugin through the Code Canyon website. (For $12.00, it’s a steal in the amount of time it will save you.)  It’s not available in the WordPress extend site yet, to my knowledge.
• Once you download it to your hard drive, you need to change the zip file and/or folder file name to remove the word “source” or it may not upload to your blog correctly.
• This plugin works with all browsers, but Internet Explorer requires a different type of font to work: an eot file.  You’ll need to convert your ttf files into eot files and upload BOTH to enable your fonts on all browsers.  A great converter can be found here: http://ttf2eot.sebastiankippe.com/.

If you have problems or questions, refer to the plugin creator at Code Canyon — he’s incredibly helpful and timely in response.
