Google Fonts Extractor

Deno script to extract a copy of a Google Font locally.

To use:

  1. Clone this repo locally (git clone git@github.com:drwpow/google-fonts-extractor.git)
  2. Select your fonts from fonts.google.com. You can select all your faces/options as you would normally.
  3. In the Use on the web sidepanel, copy the URL inside <link href="https://fonts.googleapis.com/…"> (just the HREF part)
  4. Paste it to the script via the --url flag:
deno run --allow-net --allow-write ./extract.ts --url="https://fonts.googleapis.com/css2?family=Roboto:…"

This will download everything to the ./downloads/ folder in this directory. You’ll also find a ./downloads/fonts.css file generated for you with links to everything.

Extracting other fonts

This could be used to extract fonts from any CSS file, really, but that hasn’t been tested.

Why not use google webfonts helper?

That doesn’t preserve subsetting as carefully as this does. The files downloaded from that tool end up more bloated than usual.
