$ 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.

💡 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>

☁️ Installation

You can install the package globally and use it as command line tool:

# Using npm 
npm install --global google-font-downloader
 
# Using yarn 
yarn global add google-font-downloader

Then, run google-font-downloader --help and see what the CLI tool can do.
