 Font Downloader


![master](https://github.com/GustavoPeredo/Font-Downloader/actions/workflows/build.yml/badge.svg)

## 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~~
