The google_font() helper function can be used wherever a font name should be specified. There are two instances where this helper can be used: the name argument in opt_table_font() (for setting a table font) and in that of cell_text() (used with tab_style()). To get a helpful listing of fonts that work well in tables, use the info_google_fonts() function.
