Command line tool to download fonts from third-party font hosting sites for self-hosting.
Coming soon...
For basic usage, pass in the URL of the CSS font declaration of the hosting site:
sh
shfonts "https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Roboto:300"
Assuming that the URL passed is a CSS file with @font-face declarations, the
previous command will download all the font files specified inside it. It will
also write a CSS file with contents copied from that CSS file replacing the font
URLs declared in @font-face > src url() with the file names of the font
files. For example, if the content of the CSS file above is the following:
css
/* latin */
@font-face {
font-family: 'Roboto';
font-style: italic;
font-weight: 300;
src: url(https://fonts.gstatic.com/s/roboto/v30/KFOjCnqEu92Fr1Mu51TjASc6CsQ.woff2) format('woff2');
unicode-range: U+0000-00FF, U+0131, U+0152-0153, U+02BB-02BC, U+02C6, U+02DA, U+02DC, U+2000-206F, U+2074, U+20AC, U+2122, U+2191, U+2193, U+2212, U+2215, U+FEFF, U+FFFD;
}
...it will rewrite it to something like the following:
css
/* latin */
@font-face {
font-family: 'Roboto';
font-style: italic;
font-weight: 300;
src: url(KFOjCnqEu92Fr1Mu51TjASc6CsQ.woff2) format('woff2');
unicode-range: U+0000-00FF, U+0131, U+0152-0153, U+02BB-02BC, U+02C6, U+02DA, U+02DC, U+2000-206F, U+2074, U+20AC, U+2122, U+2191, U+2193, U+2212, U+2215, U+FEFF, U+FFFD;
}
If you want to save the font files and the CSS file to a different directory,
use --dir or -d option:
sh
shfonts -d "/download/path" "https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Roboto:300"
If you need to customize the font URL inside the url() declaration, use the
--font-url-prefix or -p option:
sh
shfonts -p "/assets/fonts/" "https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Roboto:300"
For the previous example CSS file, it will rewrite it like in the following:
css
/* latin */
@font-face {
font-family: 'Roboto';
font-style: italic;
font-weight: 300;
src: url(/assets/fonts/KFOjCnqEu92Fr1Mu51TjASc6CsQ.woff2) format('woff2');
unicode-range: U+0000-00FF, U+0131, U+0152-0153, U+02BB-02BC, U+02C6, U+02DA, U+02DC, U+2000-206F, U+2074, U+20AC, U+2122, U+2191, U+2193, U+2212, U+2215, U+FEFF, U+FFFD;
}
