Query Format
To request a font from the Google Fonts provider use the following query format:

|---|---|---|---|---|
| name | Yes | Any family from fonts.google.com | string | |
| width | No | > 0 | float | 100 |
| weight | No | (0, 1000) exclusive | int | 400 |
| italic | No | [0, 1] inclusive | float | 0 |
| besteffort | No | true/false | boolean | true |
If besteffort is true and your query specifies a valid family name but therequested width/weight/italic value is not supported we will return the bestmatch we can find within the family. For example, a request forOswald at weight 900 would returnOswald at weight 700.
