Question

i was using this jquery plugin here: jQuery font selector at github but it appears to be working with standard web fonts. i thought that if i loaded font families in the css it would work since it was just changing the css font-family. any idea why it won’t work?

here is the fiddle:

I added three unique fonts at the end of the list, but they do not show up. i did a test div to make sure the fonts are working, and they seem to be.

Add a fallback font, like sans-serif. The plugin doesn’t seem to handle font entries without fallbacks. Here’s an updated version of your jsFiddle. Note that Arial (a standard web font) doesn’t show up without a fallback listed.
