How to quickly browse and install Google Fonts on Ubuntu elegantly

Google Fonts (in case you didn’t know) is an online repo with hundreds of open source fonts and typefaces that can be used for free in website projects, apps, artwork, and more. Font Finder brings this repo software to the Linux desktop to help you install Google Fonts on Ubuntu and other distributions easily and quickly.

Maybe you are working on a project that needs some beautiful fonts; or are looking for a new system font to grace your desktop; or maybe you want your favorite web font to sit on your desktop. No matter what you want to do with Google's web fonts, this app can help you do it.

The easy way to install Google Fonts on your Linux desktop

Manually installing fonts requires knowing the font folder. This folder is hidden and difficult to remember. Font Finder is much more convenient.

Font Finder makes it easy to browse, download and install hundreds of fonts on Google Fonts – but filter fonts by category:

• Serif
• Sans Serif
• Display
• Handwriting
• Monospace

If you’re using a new terminal font, a trendy serif, or your system’s display font, use these filters to quickly narrow down to fonts specific to those use cases:

The app also lets you do a bunch of other tasks like:

• Search by font name (includes autocomplete)
• Adjust font size in preview
• Option to view "installed" fonts
• Easy button to install/uninstall all web fonts

Install Font Finder from Flathub

You can install Font Finder for Flathub as a Flatpak application: Font Finder on Flathub

Ubuntu 17.10 does not support the ‘click to download’ Flatpak button, but you can use the command line to install it (assuming you already have Flatpak and Flathub installed):

flatpak install flathub io.github.mmstick.FontFinder
