Currently, both the Google Web Fonts service and the Fonts.com service are integrated (over 16,800 free and commercial fonts).
If you like the extension, please write a review and help spread the word! The more support the project receives the more likely it will be developed further to include other services (Typekit, Myfonts, etc.)
The extension is language ready, but currently only has English translations. However the fonts available are for a wide variety of character sets (Khmer, Japanese, Arabic, Cyrillic, Greek, etc. etc.)
**Important: Both the component and plugin must be installed and enabled. The extension's interface on the admin side supports IE9 and IE8 and current versions of FF, Chrome, Safari, and Opera. The fonts are all managed through the component interface, however users must at least have a base understanding of CSS rules.

Due to security reasons, I don't usually install newly released and untested extensions. This one, however, I had to take a chance with and try out. And it turned out to be the very best typography extension I ever tested, making it easy for us designers to take better control over yet another important design field. It does what it claims with great ease, and thereby opens up new possibilities for joomla styling. Thank you very much for this excellent extension!
Very smart component, does excactly what it promises and easy to use (but just online, not on your local disk, at least the Google Web Fonts). Good way to declare the according textformats over css separators. One thing i am missing is no way to define the font sizes. If somebody has a hint for that would be nice.
Owner's reply
Thanks for your review, Markkus- I'm glad you like the extension! It does not allow for making font sizes changes and just focuses on making the fonts available for use and assigning them. The best way to do this would be through the template's stylesheet directly.
