Font Fetcher

A simple library to fetch (and cache) fonts from 1001fonts.com (more sources can be added later).

⚠️ Not all fonts are available for free for all use cases, so please check the license of each font before using it.

Installation

pip install font-fetcher

Usage

from font_fetcher import fetch_font

# Fetch a font by its name
font_name = "Open Sans"
font_style = "Bold"  # Optional (default is "Regular")
font_path = fetch_font(font_name, font_style)
print(f"Font '{font_name}' ('{font_style}') available at: {font_path}")

OCP integration

This library was written to help ensure the availability of fonts in code-CAD environments using OCP, so there is a simple hook to fetch fonts automatically when needed:

from font_fetcher.ocp import install_ocp_font_hook

install_ocp_font_hook()

After calling install_ocp_font_hook(), fonts will be fetched automatically if they are not already available.

Example for build123d: Text("Text", 10, font_name="Open Sans", font_style=FontStyle.BOLD)

Example for cadquery: wp.text("Text", 10, font="Open Sans", kind="bold")

⚠️ Not all fonts work with OCP, here is a list of known working and recommended fonts:
