CI Status

Google Fonts Files

This project mainly contains the binary font files served by Google Fonts (fonts.google.com)

The top-level directories indicate the license of all files found within them. Subdirectories are named according to the family name of the fonts within.

Each family subdirectory contains the .ttf font files served by Google Fonts, plus a METADATA.pb file with metadata for the family (such as information on the project designer(s), genre category, and license - learn more) and a DESCRIPTION.en_us.html with a description of the family in US English.

The /catalog subdirectory contains additional metadata, such as profile texts and portrait/avatar images of font designers, and this is open for contributions and corrections from anyone via GitHub.

The /axisregistry subtree contains metadata for the GF Axis Registry, containing information on variable font axes that can be found in the collection, including experimental axes. As a subtree, no changes should be made directly to this repo, instead please use the upstream, github.com/googlefonts/axisregistry

The /lang subtree contains language support data, and should also not be changed here but instead upstream. github.com/googlefonts/lang

Bug Reports and Improvement Requests

If you find a problem with a font file or have a request for the future development of a font project, please create a new issue in this project's issue tracker.

Contribute Fonts

If you need more context on how to create issues in a GitHub issue tracker, or if you want to contribute a font directly, see CONTRIBUTING

Contributor Code of Conduct

However you choose to contribute, please abide by our code of conduct to keep our community a healthy and welcoming place.

Self Host Fonts Available From Google Fonts

Since all the fonts available here are licensed with permission to redistribute, subject to the license terms, you can self-host using a variety of third-party projects.

One popular service is Fontsource, which offers bundled NPM packages.

Local installation package managers

For Linux, macOS, FreeBSD, or HaikuOS you can also use fnt, to install single fonts. For RPM, DEB based systems, feel free to try the linked URLs for individual fonts. Others can also use the webservice.

Download All Google Fonts

You can download all Google Fonts in a simple ZIP snapshot (over 1GB) from https://github.com/google/fonts/archive/main.zip

Sync With Git

You can also sync the collection with git so that you can update by only fetching what has changed. To learn how to use git, GitHub provides illustrated guides, a youtube channel, and an interactive learning site. Free, open-source git applications are available for Windows and Mac OS X.

License

It is important to always read the license for every font that you use. Each font family directory contains the appropriate license file for the fonts in that directory. The fonts files themselves also contain licensing and authorship metadata.

Most of the fonts in the collection use the SIL Open Font License, v1.1. Some fonts use the Apache 2 license. The Ubuntu fonts use the Ubuntu Font License v1.0.

The SIL Open Font License has an option for copyright holders to include a Reserved Font Name requirement, and this option is used with some of the fonts. If you modify those fonts, please take care of this important detail.

Source Files

Source files for each family are often available from the designer, or from github.com/googlefonts

These fonts are usually the result of collaborative projects, where you are invited to discuss issues with the designers and even contribute to their ongoing development.

When customizing or remixing fonts, please do contact the designers to understand what they might need in order to include your improvements.

Most of all: Enjoy the fonts!

Fonts
这是做什么的?这是 Google Fonts 所提供的二进制字体文件(.ttf)的官方仓库,按许可证和字体家族分类整理,同时还带有一个公开的 issue 跟踪器,用于讨论与 Google Fonts 相关的各种问题。
这是需要运行的软件,还是只是一堆字体文件?没有任何软件要运行——里面就是文件本身:顶层文件夹按许可证划分,子文件夹是各个字体家族,每个里面放着 .ttf 文件、一个 METADATA.pb(设计师、类别、许可证)以及一段英文描述。
我怎么把这些字体装到自己电脑上?可以用 fnt 包管理器安装单个字体(支持 Linux、macOS、FreeBSD、HaikuOS),RPM/DEB 系统可以使用仓库里给出的链接,也可以把整个字体集打包成 ZIP 快照下载(超过 1GB),或者用 git 同步。
如果我修改或改编这些字体,有什么要注意的?有些 OFL 字体带有保留字体名称(Reserved Font Name)的要求:如果你修改了这类字体,就必须遵守该要求,所以在改编之前请先查看对应字体家族目录里的许可证文件。
我能把这些字体放到自己的网站上自托管,而不从 Google 加载吗?可以——所有字体的许可证都允许重新分发,但需要遵守各自许可证的条款;一种流行的自托管方式是 Fontsource,它提供打包好的 NPM 包。
/axisregistry 和 /lang 这两个目录是干什么的?它们是元数据目录:/axisregistry 存放可变字体轴的数据(包括实验性的轴),/lang 存放语言支持数据。两者都在上游维护,分别是 github.com/googlefonts/axisregistry 和 github.com/googlefonts/lang——修改不会直接在这个仓库里进行。
在哪里能找到某个字体家族的可编辑源文件?通常可以向设计师索取,或者在 github.com/googlefonts 上找到。这些字体家族一般是协作项目,你可以和设计师讨论问题,不过在定制或改编他们的字体之前,建议先联系他们。
这个仓库有关于设计师本人的信息吗?有——/catalog 目录保存着字体设计师的个人简介和肖像/头像图片,并且任何人都可以通过 GitHub 提交贡献和更正。
