      I’m thinking about making some font changes to the Aspire theme. I know there are several ways to do this, but I’m all about easy. 馃檪 If I use a plugin like Easy Google Fonts, instead of hand coding the changes, will there be a huge performance hit?

        I wouldn’t know as I’ve never used any plugins to do it. If I had to guess, I think it would definitely be faster to just manually do it from the functions file. That’s how I’ve always done it, and it only takes me 2 seconds to change a font.

          Sounds good Wes. Can you direct me to any tutorials that may help me achieve this manually?

            You can Google and find a bunch of them that already exist specifically for Genesis, but if you look in your functions file you’ll see something like this –

            wp_enqueue_style( 'google-fonts', '//fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Open+Sans:300,400,600', array(), CHILD_THEME_VERSION );

            Replace Open+Sans with the font you’ve selected from the Google Font page. You can also swap out the weights if you want to.

              I ended up using Easy Google Fonts and it works great! Plus, it’s a visual system that allows me to try different combinations very quickly. I may just use it to preview different design options and then hand code everything.

                If the plugin works that quickly and easily, then definitely go for it instead of doing it manually.
