# Font Viewer
View and install fonts on a Linux system and install fonts from Google Fonts.
---
## Installation
To install the package, run:
```bash
bash <(curl -s https://raw.githubusercontent.com/chocolateimage/fontviewer/refs/heads/main/install.sh)
```
I no longer want to do PPA for now because of how shitty Launchpad is.
## Building/installing from source
You need to have `meson` installed.
Install all dependencies:
```bash
# Debian/Ubuntu (apt)
sudo apt install meson pkg-config libfontconfig-dev libgtkmm-3.0-dev libjson-glib-dev libcurl4-gnutls-dev
# Fedora (dnf)
sudo dnf install git g++ meson pkg-config fontconfig-devel gtkmm3.0-devel json-glib-devel libcurl-devel
# Arch Linux (pacman)
sudo pacman -S --needed git gcc meson fontconfig gtkmm3 json-glib curl
```
You may want to remove `libcurl4-gnutls-dev` from the install list if you already have libcurl-dev installed.
Run this command to setup the build directory:
```bash
meson setup builddir
cd builddir
```
If you want to **install**:
```bash
meson install
```
And press "y" and enter if asked for elevated privileges, the program should now appear in the application launcher as "Fonts".
---
If you want to **develop**:
To compile the program run:
```bash
meson compile
```
To run fontviewer run:
```bash
# Make sure to be in the build directory!
./fontviewer
```
## Uninstallation
To uninstall an already installed installation, run:
```bash
bash <(curl -s https://raw.githubusercontent.com/chocolateimage/fontviewer/refs/heads/main/uninstall.sh)
```
