fontSwitcher

Update: fontSwitcher v3.0 is available on Github, and supports Adobe Edge Web Fonts as well as Google Fonts.  It also supports adding fonts to elements by tag name or ID as well as by class.

fontSwitcher is a JavaScript function that adds the capability for dynamically loading fonts from the Google Fonts web repository and applying them to existing text on a web page.



Click the button above to try fontSwitcher.  It can be embedded into HTML, saved as a local JavaScript source file, or linked to from here.  The code can be downloaded from CodePen below, and it can be tested there as well.
