The free version currently gives you over 800 fonts to use on your site. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It allows you to change the font used on each element of your site, even if you&#8217;re running a theme that does not normally permit such changes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Conlang websites by their nature are text-heavy and we conlangers tend to appreciate a good font, so the extra choice it offers is well worth having, IMHO.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Through <strong><em>Google Fonts<\/em><\/strong>, I first reset <strong><em><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/mohai.conlang.org\/\" target=\"_blank\">mohai.conlang.org<\/a><\/em><\/strong> into a mixture of <strong>Noto Serif<\/strong> and <strong>Noto Sans<\/strong>. They are not perhaps the most exciting fonts out there, but they have a huge character set, including all the  <strong>International Phonetic Alphabet.<\/strong> This is clearly a great boon for the conlanger.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In May 2020 I moved over to the <strong>Merriweather <\/strong>and <strong>Merriweather Sans<\/strong> fonts as I prefer their designs and they are still large and legible. The rendering of IPA characters has not suffered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In May 2021, I changed again to <strong>Open Sans <\/strong>for headings and <strong>Roboto <\/strong>for body text. IPA characters are still rendered well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you&#8217;re running <strong><em>WordPress<\/em><\/strong> on your conlang blog.
