googleFontCrawler
1.0.0
Automatic Web crawler for extracting and preparing google fonts for local use. This is nessessary due to european data protection law. (DSGVO) Downloading and linking all font-files by hand is tidious. So I wrote a small python script to automate the process.
When accessing google fonts over the "fonts.googleapis.com" url, the file is generated shortly after the request. Thus a webcrawler is needed to access the font-data at runtime.
Start the system cli in main folder of this repo and run following command:
python getGoogleFonts.py
After that, find the old Google-Font include link. It should look something like this:
<html>
<header>
<title>My website</title>
...
<link href="https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Cormorant+Garamond:700,700i|Nunito+Sans:400,700,900" rel="stylesheet">
...
Enter just the url itself into the python cli promt:
Please copy your Google® fonts include URL here:
https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Cormorant+Garamond:700,700i|Nunito+Sans:400,700,900
After that you will be able to access all nessessary files within the export-folder
All fonts will be downloaded to the fonts-folder. Besides that, a header.html aswell as a font.css-file is generated.
The font.css-file looks something like this:
/* CORMORANT GARAMOND | latin-ext */
/* italic-700 */
@font-face{
font-family: 'Cormorant Garamond';
font-style: italic;
font-weight: 700;
src: url('../src/fonts/Cormorant-Garamond-italic-700-latin-ext.woff2') format('woff2');
unicode-range: U+0100-024F, U+0259, U+1E00-1EFF, U+2020, U+20A0-20AB, U+20AD-20CF, U+2113, U+2C60-2C7F, U+A720-A7FF;
}
/* normal-700 */
@font-face{
font-family: 'Cormorant Garamond';
font-style: normal;
font-weight: 700;
...
Put the newly generated fonts-folder into the src-folder of your main project root. If you don't have an src-folder, just create a new one. You could also manually adjust the paths of all fonts src-attributes in the font.css-file aswell as the header.html-file.
Place the font.css-file into the css-folder of your main project root. If you want to use another folder of your project, just adjust the path of the last line in header.html
Copy the contents of header.html into the header section of every site you want to use the fonts on.
Your code should look something like this:
<html>
<header>
<title>My website</title>
