Google Webfonts Installer
Bash script to download and install the entire Google Webfonts collection for offline use.
Since this script was conceived, five or six years ago, the Google Fonts Directory (as it’s now called) has grown out of all proportion. As such, while this script will still work, I don’t think I’d recommend this approach anymore. -- Simon, 2018-01
This script will download and install the entire Google Webfonts collection. Many people have asked me for it, so I’m posting it here.
The script will work on Debian GNU/Linux systems (and derivatives, such as Linux Mint and Ubuntu) only. It can be downloaded below, or copied and pasted from this page.
