I changed the code each page runs for using the selected fonts. Instead of placing the font code in CSS files and the header.php script, it now goes in the headcode.php script. This script adds code to the HEAD section of each page. I did this so that I can use PHP to selectively choose which Google fonts to load. This will allow the selection of different Google fonts besides the default selections, and it will allow you to avoid loading any Google fonts if you prefer to use installed fonts. If you aren't satisfied with the provided font selections, this also allows you to set your choices to serif, sans-serif, and mono and then go to your browser's settings to set each of these to any font you have.

With this change in how the font settings work, I now need to make changes to the font selections. I will be adding select fonts from Google fonts, and I will be reducing the installed fonts you can choose from. For the sake of reducing unavailable selections, it's probably best to remove fonts that are not well-represented among different platforms. My current testing platforms are my Windows 11 PC, Linux Mint on Virtualbox, my iPad, my Kindle Scribe, my Fire tablet, an Android tablet, and my Likebook Mars. In another comment, I will make records of which platforms support each font choice.
