Load Google Fonts via functions.php in WordPress

In this tutorial, I’ll show how to load Google Fonts or any other CSS file using functions.php.

It’s important to load such scripts via functions.php if you’re using CSS/JS minifying plugins.

Let’s create a new function google_fonts() inside functions.php and then register it with wp_print_styles. This function will load selected Ubuntu font styles from Google Fonts.

// Register style sheet.
add_action( 'wp_print_styles', 'google_fonts' );

/**
 * Register style sheet.
 */
function google_fonts() {
    wp_register_style( 'Ubuntu', '//fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Ubuntu:400,400i,700' );
    wp_enqueue_style( 'Ubuntu' );
}

That’s it, Ubuntu font styles will now be loaded in the site header.
