Idea: Google Font Dropdown Selector Code

just an idea at the moment, a dropdown list of google fonts and when selected it loads that selected font using the @import css tag. 

Loading the fonts Gist : not tested

PHP

<?php
/* 
 * Google Font Chooser
 */

$path = "/home/kebopowe/public_html/functions/fonts.txt";
//$path = "http://kebopowered.com/functions/fonts.txt"; // use this if remote

$request = file_get_contents( $path );

$fonts = json_decode( $request );

?>
