gfonts — Google Fonts CLI

Zero-auth CLI for searching, browsing, and downloading fonts from Google Fonts.

Prerequisites: Install the CLI

This skill drives the gfonts-pp-cli binary. You must verify the CLI is installed before invoking any command from this skill. If it is missing, install it first:

Install via the Printing Press installer. It defaults binaries to $HOME/.local/bin on macOS/Linux and %LOCALAPPDATA%\Programs\PrintingPress\bin on Windows:
```
npx -y @mvanhorn/printing-press-library install gfonts --cli-only
```
Verify: gfonts-pp-cli --version
Ensure the reported install directory is on $PATH for the agent/runtime that will invoke this skill.

If the npx install fails (no Node, offline, etc.), fall back to a direct Go install (requires Go 1.26.5 or newer). This installs into $GOPATH/bin (default $HOME/go/bin), so add that directory to $PATH instead:

go install github.com/mvanhorn/printing-press-library/library/developer-tools/gfonts/cmd/gfonts-pp-cli@latest

If --version reports "command not found" after install, the runtime cannot see the binary directory on $PATH. Do not proceed with skill commands until verification succeeds.

Commands

search <query> — Search fonts by name, category, or designer
list — Browse fonts with filters (--category, --sort, --limit)
info <font> — Show detailed font metadata
download <font> — Download font files (--variant, --output, --show)
trending — Show trending/popular fonts
categories — List all font categories with counts
random — Pick a random font (--category)
