 * Hi
 * Not sure what i’m doing wrong here, [http://spectr.al](http://spectr.al) but 
   i’m having no luck changing the fonts in customise > typography > theme typography,
   i can choose for example ‘Quote Body / .quotebody’ but none of the changes seam
   to work ?
 * ‘<span class=”.quotebody”>“It is the destiny of the weak to be devoured by the
   strong.”</span>
    <span class=”.quoteby”>― Otto von Bismarck</span>’
 * Thanks in advance

 * Hi Nigel,
    The issue is occurring because of the class name you are using. The
   html class name attribute is not allowed to have a `.` in it. So in your example
   the code should be:
 * `<span class="quotebody">It is the destiny of the weak to be devoured by the 
   strong.</span>`
 * `<span class="quoteby">― Otto von Bismarck</span>`
 * and the respective selectors for your css controls would be:
    `.quotebody` `.
   quoteby`
 * Generally speaking in order to get the best out of this plugin you would need
   to know your theme’s [css selectors](http://www.w3schools.com/cssref/css_selectors.asp),
   I use google developer tools inspect element (right click the element in chrome
   and click inspect element) feature to quickly find this. Cheers

 * Hi Nigel,
    Glad I could help. I was wondering if you could [rate this plugin](https://wordpress.org/support/view/plugin-reviews/easy-google-fonts)
   when you get a moment that would be great. Cheers
