Can you use this in page templates like single.html instead of in markdown? If I want all pages to use the same google font?

As this is a shortcode, it's specific for using with markdown ... what you need to do is check your .CSS files and there you can change your fonts - the Google Font website will even provide the necessary code to go in your files
