About Elegant Custom Fonts
From the official readme · v1.0.1Description
This plugin appears at Settings -> Fonts.
For each @font-face, specify .woff URL, weight, style, and a font family name.
Appropriate @font-face rules will be saved to a CSS file and enqueued with wp_enqueue_stylesheet, so that you can use the font with the font-family CSS property.
No nonsense. No API keys. No font conversion. No bloat.
