I am not sure, but I don't think Google Fonts works like that anymore. I see nowhere to get just what you want.

Yes, so i went through the Google FAQs and I seems to now be bad advice to 'just grab what you will use' to prevent too much loading.

I think its a legacy feature, I hope that's not important to the continuing lesson.

Yes, you are correct that current best practice is just to get all the font variables instead of picking and choosing as this is better for performance.

Now you just click "Get font" in the upper right hand corner of your screen once you select your font. Then you can choose to get an embed code or download the font files and it skips the part where you select which font weights, etc. that you want. The embed code is what you will put in the head of your html.
