HiGoogleFonts

HiGoogleFonts allows you to add a Google font picker to easily display a list of Google fonts. This font picker is used along with our select jQuery plugin. The picker shows an instant preview of the font style without loading the font.

Events

HiGoogleFonts provides an event system that developers can hook into. It gives you notifications of the font loading sequence.

• selectedCallback - This event is triggered when a font is selected but not yet loaded.
• loadedCallback - This event is triggered when the font is loaded and is ready to be applied. This is where you should apply font to an element.
