# Automated Web Font Library



Some fonts are not available on Google Fonts, and the submission-approval process can destroy patience.

Perhaps this place is an alternative home.



Website: [https://autowflib.pages.dev/](https://autowflib.pages.dev/).



The website shows the complete list of collected fonts and supports searching by font name.



CSS/WOFF2 artifacts are served over Cloudflare CDN and hosted on Cloudflare Pages.



## Contributing



### Font Inclusion



The font being submitted for inclusion in this repository must satisfy the following criteria:



- It is published with [GNU GPL 2.0](https://www.gnu.org/licenses/old-licenses/gpl-2.0.html), [GNU GPL 3.0](https://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-3.0.html), [OFL](https://scripts.sil.org/cms/scripts/page.php?site_id=nrsi&id=ofl), [GFL](https://www.ctan.org/license/gfl), [MIT](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MIT_License), [LPPL](https://www.ctan.org/license/lppl1.3), or some similar license (permitting unlimited web embedding).

- If it is a fork of another open source font, it is differentiated enough from its upstream, or has at least some basic popularity (e.g. 100 stars on GitHub).

- If the submission to this library is not made by the font creator/maintainer themselves:

  - The font should have some basic popularity.

  - The font is not available on Google Fonts.



### Pull Requests



Our workflow is similar to software packaging in GNU/Linux communities.



Suppose that you are going to submit a font "My First Font" under category "sans-humanist".



Steps for making a good pull request:



- Fork this repo.

- Clone to your machine.

- Create the `/fonts/sans-humanist/my-first-font/info` file according to [FontSpecFormat.md](docs/FontSpecFormat.md). Refer to the definitions of other fonts when in doubt. Also, the `/addfont.sh` interactive script can make the creation of the `info` file more friendly.

- Create a `build.sh` file along with it, only if necessary.

- Run `./make.sh fonts/sans-humanist/my-first-font`.

- Make sure that the command above produces expected WOFF2 files and CSS files in `/distdir/fonts/sans-humanist/my-first-font`.

- Commit, push, and create a pull request.

- Include the generated log file `buildlog.txt` in the pull request as an attachment.



## Miscellaneous Notes



The all-in-one complete CSS for all fonts in this library:

[https://autowflib.pages.dev/full.css](https://autowflib.pages.dev/full.css).

Since modern browsers are clever enough to procrastinate the loading of

WOFF files not yet required in the webpage,

using this may perhaps make no real harm...



You can use this piece of code for having a quick preview for the fonts on an existing webpage (if it has no insane CSP):

```js

(function (s){s.innerHTML=`@import url('https://autowflib.pages.dev/full.css')`;document.head.append(s)})(document.createElement('style'))

```
