Biggest opportunity: Swap “fonts” and “font” for “font family” and “family”. “fonts” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “font family” sits at #9 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “font” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #23. “family” sits at #24 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.

of downloads still active
At least 10K of 135K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Uncategorized plugin keeps 0.6%, across 17,772 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Uncategorized plugins, not across the directory. wp.org reports active installs as the bottom of a band, so the real rate is this or higher.
This plugin shipped 1 release in the last 12 months, and every existing install that updated counted as another download. wp.org publishes no split between first installs and updates, so we show the raw rate rather than guess at one.

What to do about it
- Swap “fonts” and “font” for “font family” and “family”. “fonts” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “font family” sits at #9 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “font” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #23. “family” sits at #24 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.

このプラグインのアップデート（2022年1/24施行）をしたところ、WPの管理画面に全くログインできなくなりました。 「このサイトで重大なエラーが発生しました。対応手順については、サイト管理者のメール受信ボックスを確認してください。」という画面が現れ、それ以降一切進めない。 プラグインのアップデートの直後にログインできなくなったのは明らかだったので、散々いじりまくった挙句、結局最後はサーバー側からアプローチして、サーバーのファイルマネージャー→プラグイン名を書き換えて無効にする、という手段で何とかログインできるようになりました。 （逆に言うと、この手段でログインが復活したので、当プラグインのアップデートが直接の原因であることは間違いないという事です） これ、今回はこの手段を知っていたから何とかなったが、知らなくて泣く泣くWPそのものをインストールし直す人なども多くいるのではないだろうか。 物凄い労力と時間を奪われました。 あり得ない。

I run a Japanese website, my pages used to weigh over 4MB each even though the content was pretty light on images and scripts. I decided to find the culprit and it was this plugin. Page size went immediately down to 500 kb after deactivation. Fonts make your site prettier and I don’t see alternatives, but a 10 fold increase on page sizes isn’t worth it.

I highly recommend this plugin for those who want to mix Western (?) Fonts with Japanese Fonts. I was having a hard time finding a plugin that was offering what this plugins delivers: Japanese Fonts. Please keep up with the good work. My content is not the same after meeting up with this Plugin! どうもありがとうございました！ jS
