Hi - yes, what you suggest would work fine and shouldn't use too much memory.

However even just doing:
```
if (settings.font = ...) {
  Graphics.prototype.setFontArchitect = function() {
   ...
  }
} else if (settings.font = ...) {
  Graphics.prototype.setFontArchitect = function() {
   ...
  }
} 
```
is enough that the code will run without using up any RAM for a font that isn't used. It's worth noting that the Graphics.prototype.setFontArchitect function will only ever use maybe 5 JS variables regardless of the size of its contents (because it's stored in flash), so even 7 of them won't use up all your memory.

I would however ask the question: does your app really need 7 optional fonts? Will anyone actually use them all, or is it better to just have a single, good, well-tested font?
