Simple google font helper for Rails 4
This font tag helper is made for an easy handle of the link tags that contains google fonts.
It accepts the following formats:
<%= font_tag(:open_sans, 400, 300) %>
<%= font_tag([:open_sans, 400, 300], [:lato, 400, 300]) %>
<%= font_tag({ name: :open_sans, sizes: [400, 300] }, { name: :lato, sizes: [400, 300]}) %>
def font_tag(fontname_hash_or_array, *args)
#

message += 'or a multiple font definition in the hash format {name: :fontname1, sizes: [size1, size2]},{name: :fontname2, sizes: [size1, size2]}'
