# go-findfont

A platform-agnostic go (golang) library to easily locate truetype font files in your system's user and system font directories.

## What?

`go-findfont` is a golang library that allows you to locate font file on your system. The library is currently aware of the default font directories on Linux/Unix, Windows, and MacOS.

## How?

### Installation

Installing `go-findfont` is as easy as

```bash

go get -u github.com/flopp/go-findfont

```

### Library Usage

```go

import (

  "fmt"

  "io/ioutil"

  

  "github.com/flopp/go-findfont"

  "github.com/golang/freetype/truetype"

)

func main() {

  fontPath, err := findfont.Find("arial.ttf")

  if err != nil {

    panic(err)

  }

  fmt.Printf("Found 'arial.ttf' in '%s'\n", fontPath)

  // load the font with the freetype library

  fontData, err := ioutil.ReadFile(fontPath)

  if err != nil {

    panic(err)

  }

  font, err := truetype.Parse(fontData)

  if err != nil {

    panic(err)

  }

  // use the font...

}

```
