This is a technique to implement a pull-down menu to test fonts on a web page

The html for the pull-down menu:

<link href='https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Abel|Crimson+Text:400,400italic,600,600italic,700,700italic|Varela+Round|Patua+One|Gudea:400,400italic,700|Lora:400,400italic,700,700italic|Open+Sans+Condensed:300,300italic,700|Fjalla+One|Arvo:400,400italic,700,700italic' rel='stylesheet' type='text/css'>

<select id="input-font" class="input"  onchange="changeFont (this);">
  <option value="Times New Roman" selected ="selected">Times New Roman</option>
  <option value="Abel">Abel</option>
  <option value="Crimson Text">Crimson Text</option>
  <option value="Varela Round">Varela Round</option>
  <option value="Patua One">Patua One</option>
  <option value="Gudea">Gudea</option>
  <option value="Lora">Lora</option>
  <option value="Open Sans Condensed">Open Sans Condensed</option>
  <option value="Fjalla One">Fjalla One</option>
  <option value="Arvo">Arvo</option>
</select>

The Javascript function:

<script>
    function changeFont(font){
        document.getElementById("output-text").style.fontFamily = font.value;
    }
</script>

And the html for the content:

<h3>Lorem ipsum dolor</h3>
<h4>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit.</h4>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Nullam gravida neque dolor, a ultricies justo viverra mattis.
