Overview
This plugin allows you to create a Google font selector field with different options. The plugin also creates the font request in the theme header to autoload the fonts if you’d like. Font variants and charsets can be selected separately to make font loading more flexible and optimized.
Font options added to any options page will always be enqueued. Any fonts added to post pages will only be enqueued when that specific post is displayed.
Google API Key

This ACF field type is compatible with both ACF 4 and ACF 5.

Great plugin in concept, but it seems like it needs to be updated in order for it to work. The API keeps saying that it is incorrect. Also, in the ACF it doesn’t seem to display what it is supposed to.
Very unfortunate. I was looking forward for a plugin like this.
Doesn’t work anymore

Doesn’t work — 🙁 —, probably due to the fact that there were no plugin updates in the past 2 years.
Abandoned?
