FontInfo

FontInfo is a Go package to list available fonts on a Linux system.

• No CGO required
• Doesn't wrap fontconfig or other utilities
• Pure Go
• No external dependencies
• Provides family and style for each font
• Supports TTF and OTF
• Fast (typically parses 1k fonts in ~100ms)

Example

package main

import (
	"fmt"

	"github.com/liamg/fontinfo"
)

func main() {

	fonts, err := fontinfo.List()
	if err != nil {
		panic(err)
	}

	for _, font := range fonts {
		fmt.Printf("Family=%s Style=%s Path=%s\n", font.Family, font.Style, font.Path)
	}
}
