Google Web Fonts in Serif WebPlus
It’s most likely, at some point, you’ve been designing a website and found yourself looking at the huge choice of non-websafe fonts in the font selection dropdown in WebPlus, wishing that you could use one of them to give your site some modern typographic awesomeness that all the cool kids are using. Yeah, you can use them, but who’s to say your users are going to have that font installed on their computer, if they don’t, their browser will substitute it for something like Verdana and the layout will look like its been designed by a toilet graffiti artist. You could always convert the text to a graphic, but that’s no good for Search Engines or load times for that matter.
