Google Font Manager is one of those plugins that you can easily fall in love with and keep using all your career as a Web developer.
It's easy to setup, it's easy to use and it's extremely easy to add custom fonts to a live website.
The plugin puts an accent on searching and previewing as much as it does on applying them on the website, a feature usually ignored by other similar plugins that rely on the user going to Google Web Fonts website and finding their font family there.
Google Font Manager does this from the WordPress backend, without ever leaving your own website.
This makes using the plugin much faster and a much pleasurable experience compared to the others.
