fontman-client

Fontman is a font management utility for Linux.

Building

Fontman uses Task as a build utility / task runner. Once task is installed, you can build fontman by simply running: task build. This will produce a binary in the /bin directory.

For testing, you can use the task run command; this will run a linter, run tests, build and then run the executable.

Note: you can run the linter and test steps separately by running task lint and task test.

Installation

From source

To build fontman, simply run task build. This will produce a binary in /bin. Move this binary to wherever binaries are installed on your system. For instance, on macOS you will run:

task build
mv bin/fontman /usr/local/bin  
fontman

From package managers

TBD.

Usage

Install from Remote

fontman install "Jetbrains Mono"

Install from fontman.yml

Run fontman install in the same directory as your fontman.yml file. This will download & install all fonts to your system if necessary.

Install from Local File (.ttf, .otf)

If you have a font downloaded locally, you can easily install it through fontman by passing in the filename as an argument to install.

Example

fontman install Arial.ttf
