About

One day I was bored of my terminal font and wanted to switch, unfortunately going through the entire process of searching Google Fonts for a font, then downloading, then copying and pasting it into my .fonts folder to only then test a font was a pain. So I decided to create this app!

How to compile

If you use GNOME Builder, simply cloning the project is enough, otherwise you need to install libhandy as a dependency.

Dependencies in Fedora:

sudo dnf install cmake meson ninja 
sudo dnf install libhandy1-dev

Then build using meson:

git clone https://github.com/GustavoPeredo/font-downloader.git
cd font-downloader
mkdir build
meson build .
cd build
ninja
ninja install

To run it from terminal:

fontdownloader

To-Dos

  • Learn how po works
  • Do some translations
  • See if it is ready for flatpak
  • Add GtkFileChooser dialog for user to choose where to download fonts to
  • Create settings panel (default installation directory and dark mode)
  • Create about window
  • Visual feedback for when fonts are done installing/downloading
  • Show a little check for when a font is already installed
  • Add new filters (depending on alphabet, will probably require a redesign of the app)
  • Optimize code
  • Update to libhandy 1.0 and update glade files accordingly
  • Find a way to remove the "back_button" without check-resize
  • Fix fonts names
  • Translate new strings
  • Migrate to gitlab
