Biggest opportunity: “font library”, “fonts” and “system fonts” aren't earning a slot. You list them, but you're not in the first 24 results for those searches. WordPress.org counts only your first five tags, so free the slot for a search you can win.
Install conversion
How it's measured →0.5%
of downloads still active
At least 10 of 2.2K lifetime downloads are still running, below its category: the median Uncategorized plugin keeps 0.6%, across 17,785 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.

How it's tracked →Directory searches this plugin turns up in, and which way each one is moving. WordPress.org publishes no history of search positions, so this starts the day we first tracked a keyword and never backfills.
Not enough tracked days yet to call a direction. Momentum needs at least three keywords measured a week or more apart.
wp.org is where the directory puts the plugin for that search. On merit is where it would sit if results were ranked on rating, support and updates, without the install boost. The last column is how far the wp.org position moved, from our first reading in the last 90 days to the latest.
| Keyword | wp.org | On merit | wp.org move, 90 days |

| fonts your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| modern font stacks your tag | Not checked yet | ||

The “Modern Font Stacks” are 15 handpicked font families that ensure a similar look and feel of your text across platforms, be it Windows, macOS, Linux or mobile devices, in the fastest and most robust way possible — by using the best system fonts available. No external downloads are necessary. No “flash of unstyled text”. There are no privacy issues. Search for “Modern Font Stacks” on your favorite search engine for the full story; you won’t regret it. You can add these font stacks to your theme via theme.json, which is not overly technical, just a bit cumbersome — or — you can use the “Modern Fonts for Font Library” plugin, which does just that for you. Afterward, the new font stacks will be available in the typography settings of your full site editing theme and, as a result, in the block editor for your content. Worried about long-time support? Don’t be. The system fonts aren’t going anywhere, and you can at any time replace the “Modern Font for Font Library” plugin with a few lines of custom CSS or the mentioned addition to theme.json. I’ve built numerous sites using Modern Font Stacks. Having a good selection of beautiful and efficient fonts for body text, script, monospaced text, etc. means that I can often avoid external fonts entirely, or just use a single external font for branding or headings. This results in a super-fast user experience. The Font Library is a Full Site Editing feature, and therefore, the plugin does not really benefit classic theme users. I’d love to see some integration with classic themes; however, I wouldn’t bet on it since classic themes’ implementation of typography settings varies so much. Tested with WordPress 6.6.1 and PHP 8.3 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
