Why Add New Fonts
The fonts your customer will see on our website will depend on a wide range of possibilies. Depending on what type of computer you have, what browser you use and in some cases what country your website is being viewed can determine the viewing experience your customers or users will see.
So, if we want to add some new fonts to our website because we either don’t want it to look generic and we want to make sure everyone has the same experience, we will need to add custom or extra fonts to our Wordpress.
