Why this?

This project exists because not all libraries support variable fonts, such as SDL. It aims to provide a solution for using variable fonts in libraries that do not support them. By converting the variable font to a set of static fonts, this project allows for the use of variable fonts in any library that supports static fonts.

Usage

To use this repository, follow these steps:

1. Choose your favorite font file and download it. You can use it anywhere.
2. Type the Unicode character, for example: \ue769

You can find the Unicode character for each icon at https://fonts.google.com/icons.

Here's an example of how the icon would look like with its Unicode character:

That's it! You can now use any Material Symbol for your projects.

Kivy Example:

from kivy.app import App
from kivy.lang import Builder

UI = Builder.load_string(
"""
Label:
    text:"\ue769"
    font_name:"fonts/Material_Symbols_Rounded-20-100-0_-25.ttf"
    font_size:"300sp"
    halign:"center"
"""
)


class Testapp(App):

    def build(self):
        return UI

Testapp().run()
