Use Any Font API Key
If you would like to test this plugin you can use the Generate Free Lite / Test API Key option which allows for the use of a single font.

If you would like to use multiple fonts you’ll need the paid option under Get Premium Key.
Upload Font Tab
Click the upload font tab. From here you can:
- Upload a custom font (make sure you have permission from the font creator before uploading)
- Add Predefined Fonts which has fonts for personal and commercial use you can choose from.
Once you find a font you like click “Add to Your Site”
Assign Font Tab
Now it’s time to assign the font and where you’d like to use it on your site. You can easily select items like headings and titles to have those display in your new chosen font.
The Custom Elements box is great if you would like to use CSS selectors to change the font of AccessAlly elements like progress checklists.
