# Only basic system fonts and error message

 * [11 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/only-basic-system-fonts-and-error-message/)
 * Trying to use this plugin with 4.1. After having successfully tested and used
   it on our test site, I’m trying to install and use it on the production site (
   we really like it).
 * However,
    1. I’m only getting a list of standard web fonts as options and 2. 
   I’m getting an error message (see below). The message only shows up the first
   time I got to customizer after installing the plugin. After that it no longer
   shows up but still does not working.

 * Please help ASAP.
 * Also, FWIW, I’ve tried uninstalling it, clearing my browser cache/cookies, etc.
   and reinstalling it. This did not help.

 * This plugin works on the majority or WordPress installations without the need
   of an API key, however some server configurations prevent the plugin from reading
   the local fonts file bundled with the plugin. Read [this thread](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/how-to-get-a-google-api-key?replies=5)
   for instructions on how to get an API key.
 * Let me know how you get on. Cheers

 * That seems to have done the trick. I tried adding an API before sending the first
   post but not one where the referrers box left blank.
 * Thanks!!

 * Great, thanks for letting me know. I was wondering if you could [rate this plugin](https://wordpress.org/support/view/plugin-reviews/easy-google-fonts)
   on WordPress when you get a moment. Cheers
