Angular Font Picker
This is a simple font picker loosely based on the cool angular2-color-picker by Alberplz.
This documentation is for the latest 5/6.x.x version which requires Angular 5 or newer. For Angular 4 you need to use the latest 4.x.x version. Documentation for the 4.x.x can be found from here.
