Adding Google Fonts into the Headway Visual Design Editor

This is a follow on from the previous post – where we now add Google Fonts into the Headway Visual Design Editor – making them accessible from the styling menus:

Google Custom Fonts for Headway Visual Design Editor

Again, Headway makes this so easy – we simply load the Google Font by pasting a single line of code, and then add 1 line of code to the Headway custom_functions.php file.

Check in your custom_functions.php file – it tells you how to add a custom font easily.
