$ 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

# Using npm
npm install --global google-font-downloader
# Using yarn
yarn global add google-font-downloaderThen, run google-font-downloader --help and see what the CLI tool can do.
