Reviews
what people actually sayUse Any Font is generally appreciated for its simplicity and reliability in applying custom fonts, but a meaningful subset of users find it frustratingly limited without paying for the font conversion service, and a persistent dashboard nag notice draws specific complaints.
What people like
- +Simple and straightforward to use×5
- +Works reliably as advertised×4
- +Supports Google Fonts in addition to custom uploads
Common complaints
- −Core font conversion functionality requires a paid upgrade ($9.99/site), making the free version feel very limited; pre-converted webfonts from free tools like Font Squirrel reportedly cannot be used without paying×2
- −Persistent dashboard rating/nag notice with no way to dismiss it
- −Setup complexity frustrates some users who expect a simple upload experience×2
- −Reported issue where the plugin replaces keyboard icons with 'DEMO' text
