User reviews

No sé si realmente es como debería de funcionar, pero he conseguido hacer que funcione de la siguiente manera: 1 - Instalar la fuente en el equipo, en mi caso Windows. 2 - Seleccionar Sans Forgetica como fuente Sans predeterminada en Chrome. Con esto, al usar la extensión me funciona. Y, al resaltar un texto se me cambia a Sans Forgetica.

使用方法：把插件logo点红，然后鼠标选中的英文文本就变形了，左右键都可以，切换网页会效果丢失很有意思的插件
