Hello,
Today I wanted to change the font of my website without any fonts in particular in my mind. Now needless to say that was a hell of a job trying to figure out which font to use. I had to search each font and see how it looks and come back to the website and then apply it.
So in my opinion you should have a font preview feature. This can be done 2 ways imo.
1. As we select a font, some predefined text will be previewed near the font selection area with the selected font.
2. A dedicated webpage in your website where all the fonts from the theme are listed along with the preview side by side.
Thanks.
Well, that is tricky as it would require loading all those fonts from Google in order to do a preview.
Since the theme uses
1) web safe fonts, which have been around a decade
2) Google fonts easily researched on their site
I don’t see this being implemented.
For web safe fonts, you may find this useful:

For Google fonts, you may find this useful:
https://www.google.com/fonts
The above sites already preview the fonts, and have done so for many years, and are quite a bit more detailed than anything which could be added to the theme panel.
Hope that helped and welcome to the world of web development!
Hi,
Thanks Christopher!
@xpl0iter This needs to be well implemented as Christopher said it’s not easy it would probably require loading all fonts. I have added this on our feature request list and we will consider this for future updates we have to pick very carefully though what we implement as we have over 150 feature requests, if more people request this we will add it.
Thanks for the suggestion!
