## FAQ

**Things to have in mind when use this plugin**
 * First time you access to the 
codeshield option page it’s going to try to fetch the fonts list from google. This
is going to make the access to that page painfully slow. Just wait to fully load
and do not leave the page. Even in case you get a timeout error is going to be fine,
it saves font by font, so probably you will have a nice list already. * To avoid
to download more than 500 fonts at once, the fonts that are been used are the ones
that get downloaded.

**Using the custom tags:**

If you would like to personalize the looks of a given text block you may use the
advanced options otherwise leave it empty for defaults:
 [pcode color=” font=” size
=”] text [/pcode] * Color is the hexadecimal value of the color with #. * Font the
name of the font as you can see in the options page. Case sensitive with the extension
ttf. * Size is a number beetween 8 and 22.
