The new Google Fonts: find what you’re looking for

• Google Fonts

  491 17,586 9.9 HTML

  Font files available from Google Fonts, and a public issue tracker for all things Google Fonts

  

I have found a clarifying comment, but while the comment [1] says:

> The Google Fonts Web API does not log or store IP addresses.

The linked source [2] only says that they don't use IPs to create profiles or to target ads. They very well might store them. Even giving them the benefit of the doubt, they can change their mind at any time and suddenly one is in legal jeopardy.

• fontsource

  40 4,564 9.1 TypeScript

  Self-host Open Source fonts in neatly bundled NPM packages.

  

Tip: more privacy friendly Google alternatives are available and super easy to use: https://fontsource.org/

I switched most of my sites to use it and I’ve been quite happy so far.

No need to leak data to Google.

For weirder stuff (e.g. https://tidings.potato.horse) I use sites like dafont.com and convert fonts using Font Squirrel.

• fonttools

  17 4,057 9.8 Python

  A library to manipulate font files from Python.

  

The tool parent and sibling comment listed allows you to do basic subsetting [1], and generates the formats you need. If you do this more often, it is of course useful to learn how to do this yourself. A commonly used tool is pyftsubset, part of fonttools [2]

There's this phenomenal app for font conversion called Webfont Kit Generator. The feature I like the most is subsetting, which greatly reduces the file size. You might find it useful.
