Google-font-downloader NPM

`$ google-font-downloader`

Download Google fonts by providing the url

Usage

You can use this tool to download Google Fonts for offline use, just by providing the Google APIs url.

:bulb: Note: It's not clear yet if Google Fonts are EU GDPR compliant (see this issue). This may be a good reason to download the Google Fonts you use on your server.

How it works

You need to provide the url to the Google APIs endpoint (e.g. https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Open+Sans:400,400i,700,700i) and you will get the following files/directories in the current working directory:

A file named google-fonts-<timestamp>.css—this will contain the CSS snippets that you need to copy in your app. You may need to update the paths to the font files.
A directory structure looking like this: fonts/<font-name>/<version>/<font-file>
