I would like to use Google’s icon font within my site.
Apparently, all I have to do is add this line of HTML in the HEAD section.
Can someone please explain how to do this, keeping in mind that I don’t have FTP access.
Thanks!

Hello @jmraisal,
Thanks for asking.
You can use plugins like Insert Headers and Footers to add scripts in head section. https://wordpress.org/plugins/insert-headers-and-footers/

Thanks for your response.
I’m seeing a bunch of articles on “Enqueueing” styles and scripts in the functions.php file.
Which is better? If I were to use the Enqueue action, what would it look like?
function child_enqueue_styles() {
// enqueue child styles
wp_enqueue_style('material-icons', '//fonts.googleapis.com/icon?family=Material+Icons' );
}
add_action('wp_enqueue_scripts', 'child_enqueue_styles', 9999);
???
Hello @jmraisal,
Thanks for asking.
Well it totally depends on you. Reason why I suggest plugin is because it’s hassle free and easy to use, setup.
However, you can also do the same using child theme and by using wp_enqueue_style
function. It’s matter of personal preference and ease. If you would like to learn more about wp_enqueue_style
function, please take a look at following resource:
https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/wp_enqueue_style/
I suggest you to please setup child theme before making any core changes. Here are the resources that can be used to download and instructions on setting up child theme:

Thanks.
