jQuery UI Widget: Webfont selector

Based on agoragames GWFSelect for creating an easy to implement google font's selector using Google's WebFont framework. This version has been rewritten in CoffeeScript and designed to take a WebFontConfig JSON object and load in all font sources supported by WebFontLoader.

Google has been first tested, with Custom Sources to be test next.

Usage

1. Include jQuery, jQuery UI, and the Google WebFont loader on your page.
2. Create a regular text input to use as the font selector (it may be prefilled with the name of a font).
3. Invoke $.wfselect on the input. Info on the inputs will be coming soon

Example

View index.html or src/index.haml for an example
