A “waiting mode” would be indicative of a conflict with another plugin (basically, an indication of conflicting JavaScript).
If you download a font and manually upload it to your uploads/fontmeister directory, you will have to ensure that the font name matches up to the “family_urlname”. E.g. If you are getting the “Caviar Dreams” font, you can see here that the family_urlname
for Caviar Dreams is “Caviar-Dreams”. So your unzipped folder should be called “Caviar-Dreams” and in there you must have the results of the unzipped file (i.e. the font files and the CSS). After that you will be able to see Caviar Dreams available for addition from the “Font Squirrel” section of FontMeister, and clicking on it should add it to your stack.

I tested FontMeister alone (with no another plugin) but the problem didn’t solve for waiting mode.
But the problem about uploading manually solved by following what you said.
Thank you for your help.
By the way, I am trying to use my own fonts by creating font kits by Squirrel kit generator and uploading them to my site, then changing the URLs of Squirrel in your FontMeister plugin so that it take my own fonts list instead of Squirrel fonts list. How do you think about it?

Ok. It was not a good idea to use my list instead of Squirrel.
Sorry, I didn’t realize you had a question in your last post.
There are lots of things happening in the plugin, so I cannot say for sure why your approach wouldn’t work. In a release very soon I will add the capability to load your own fonts too.
In the meanwhile if you want me to take a look at your “waiting mode” issue, I can do that. I believe you use Suffusion, so if you go to the support forum for Suffusion you have the option to send me a PM. If you send me a PM with temporary access to your back-end I can troubleshoot the problem.

The problem resolved.
I know that working with web fonts so that they appear correctly in all browsers is not easy.
If the plugin supports custom font, it will be the best font plugin in the WordPress planet.
Thank you very much for your good plugins and of course your excellent Suffusion theme.
