Some Fonts

You may find this project convenient if:

• You're using Maven and a JVM.
• You need a few free average-looking fonts.
• You're not picky about which fonts you get.

Example usage

import java.io.*;
import org.codeswarm.somefonts.SomeFonts;

public class DumpAllExample {

    public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException {

        // Create a new directory and print its path.
        File dir = createTemporaryDirectory();
        System.out.println(dir.getAbsolutePath());

        // Write all of the font files into the directory.
        SomeFonts.getFontCollection().writeStylesIntoDirectory(dir);
    }

    private static File createTemporaryDirectory() throws IOException {
        File dir = File.createTempFile("somefonts", null);
        if (!dir.delete()) throw new IOException();
        if (!dir.mkdir()) throw new IOException();
        return dir;
    }

}

import java.io.*;
import org.apache.commons.io.IOUtils;
import org.codeswarm.somefonts.*;

public class ReadOneExample {

    public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException {

        // Retrieve a font by family and style name.
        FontFamilyStyle font = SomeFonts.getFontCollection().getFamilyStyle(
            new FontFamilyName("Open Sans"), new FontStyleName("BoldItalic"));

        // Read the first handful of bytes and print their integer values. I have no
        // idea why you would ever want to do this, but whatever, this is example code.
        byte[] bytes = new byte[8];
        InputStream in = font.getFontInputStream();
        IOUtils.read(in, bytes);
        in.close();
        for (byte b : bytes) System.out.print(((int) b) + " ");
        System.out.println();
    }

}
