Code Snippet

function custom_enqueue_fonts_url() {
  $fonts_url = '';
  $lora = _x( 'on', 'Lora font: on or off', 'voce' );
  $open_sans = _x( 'on', 'Open Sans font: on or off', 'voce' );
  if ( 'off' !== $lora || 'off' !== $open_sans ){
    $font_families = array();
    if ( 'off' !== $lora ){
      $font_families[] = 'Lora:400,700,400italic';
    }
    if ( 'off' !== $open_sans ){
      $font_families[] = 'Open Sans:700italic,400,800,600';
    }
  }
  $query_args = array(
    'family' => urlencode( implode( '|', $font_families ) ),
    'subset' => urlencode( 'latin,latin-ext' ),
  );
  $fonts_url = add_query_arg( $query_args, 'https://fonts.googleapis.com/css' );
  return esc_url_raw($fonts_url);
}

… and then the enqueuing of the function…

function custom_enqueue_scripts_styles() {
  wp_enqueue_style( 'theme_custom_fonts', custom_enqueue_fonts_url(), array(), null );
}
add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'custom_enqueue_scripts_styles' );
