# `$ 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.
:bulb: **Note**: It's not clear yet if Google Fonts are EU GDPR compliant (see [this issue](https://github.com/google/fonts/issues/1495)). 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-.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///`
## :cloud: Installation
You can install the package globally and use it as command line tool:
```sh
# Using npm
npm install --global google-font-downloader
# Using yarn
yarn global add google-font-downloader
```
Then, run `google-font-downloader --help` and see what the CLI tool can do.
```
