Is there a solid, easy-to-use plugin for adding custom typefaces to a WordPress site? There seem to be a number of competing technologies and I’m not sure which is the best solution.

How can I add custom fonts to my WordPress blog in the easiest and least-technical manner possible?

    I’ve tried Supreme Google Webfonts and WP Google Fonts, but I settled on UGF.

    I’m trying out the plugin Fontific for the moment. Uses Google Fonts and is easy to use. So far so good. Does not autoupdate the fint list when Google adds new fonts though.
