ttf fonts repository
I had a bunch of interesting fonts.. So I uploaded them to move them to another machine later.
I thought I’d hack a script to show them to me also..
It spits out this kind of content..
- 04b24.ttf download
- 04b_03Regular.ttf download
- 04b_03bRegular.ttf download
- 04b_08Regular.ttf download
- 04b_09Regular.ttf download
The trick is, it uses image magick to write the text to a image file.
Also, the other trick is that if a font is missing a preview, it makes it. But only 5 at a time!
So, if I want to add fonts, I simply upload them to the directory and forget about them.
You do want to set a limit to how many previews you generate at a time.
This is a relatively expensive operation, and you don’t want to piss off your sysadmin.
