High removal-risk signals
63/100Maintenance and integrity signals that tend to precede a WordPress.org removal. Not an official status, a heads-up to act.
- Long abandoned. No update in 12+ years — the top precursor to removal once a vulnerability is found.
- Compatibility drift. Tested only up to WordPress 3.7.41, well behind 6.8.

Update activity
How busy the existing users are, measured as downloads in the last 30 days for every 1,000 active sites. A spike means a new release everyone's pulling; a long, slow decline means an aging user base that updates less.
What its installed base runs
via wordpress.orgShare of active installs on each version of this plugin · 100% run the current release. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.

Estimated value
What this plugin might earn a year, and what it might sell for. Modeled from public signals; we don't see anyone's books.
Est. annual revenue
Est. acquisition value
No paid tier is visible, so we don't put a figure on revenue or sale value: that would be guessing. The install base is a real asset to an acquirer, just not one public data lets us price. A small install base leaves thin data to model from.

I installed plug-in and fonts by the book, but the menu neither appeared in Tiny MCE nor TinyMCE Advanced. Judging by the support correspondence, the author Robbert seems to have lost interest in his project.

It “works” as described, but finding my own fonts that looked the way I wanted was a hassle. Then it stopped working in Safari for no apparent reason. If you know the free font you want, it might work for you. Thanks to the developer. Good concept.

Does exactly what it says without much hassle once you get your head around the setup.

This makes things a whole lot easier, but you must know how to use a File Manager, such as Core FTP, (or any other), to use this plugin. The current site I’m working on is using the Clean Retina Pro theme. Haven’t yet tried it with any other themes, but I will!

Just follow the instructions. So easy. I get the feeling I’ll be using this plugin a whole lot in the future. Great job! If you’re struggling with installation then check out the support tab. Another user wrote up a perfect step by step process so just follow that and you’ll be fine.

Could be more user friendly in terms of uploading the font packages (ideally you’d just have to upload the zipped font package via WP Admin – like a plugin or a theme – and it would do the rest!), and more explicit in terms of instructions – I found knowing exactly what files to put where in what format confusing! A list of installed fonts (via the plugin) and an option to remove them via WP Admin would also be useful

The plugin does what is supposed to do. Minimal code– minimal efforts required. Everything is loaded and generated automatically.
