Yes, there is a way to allow users to select a font type for a specific section of a website using Webflow. Webflow provides a feature called "Font Style Manager" that allows you to create custom font sets and give users the option to choose from those font sets.

Here's how you can implement this:

Add the desired font styles to your project's Font Manager:

In the Webflow Designer, go to the Project Settings.
Under the Fonts tab, click on "Add Fonts" and browse the Google Fonts or upload custom fonts.
Select the font styles you want to use and click on "Add to Project".

Create a Font Style Manager:

In the Webflow Designer, select the element (e.g., a section) where you want to allow font selection.
Go to the Styles panel and click on the "+" icon next to the font family property.
In the Font Manager, click on "Create a New Font Style" and give it a name.
Select the font styles you want to include in this font set.
Click on "Create Font Style".

Bind the font style to a dropdown:

With the element still selected, go to the Interactions panel.
Click on the "+" icon next to "On Page Load" to create a new interaction.
Choose the option "Set Font Family" and select the font style you created.
Set the target element to the desired section or paragraph that should have the font style applied.
Save the interaction.

Create the font selection dropdown:

Add a dropdown element to your website, where users can choose the font style.
In the Webflow Designer, select the dropdown element and go to the Settings panel.
Under the Options section, click on "Add option" for each font style you want to include.
Give each option a name that is easy to understand for users.
In the Interactions panel, bind the dropdown to the font style:
- Click on the "+" icon next to "On Change" to create a new interaction.
- Choose the option "Set Font Family" and select the font style based on the dropdown's value.
- Set the target element to the desired section or paragraph that should have the font style applied.
Save and publish your site.

Now, when a user selects a font style from the dropdown, the associated section or paragraph will apply that font style. This gives users the flexibility to choose their preferred font for a specific section of the website.
