# Google Fonts Files
|
||
|
||
This project contains the binary font files served by Google Fonts: https://fonts.google.com
|
||
|
||
The top level directories indicate the license of all files found within them.
|
||
Subdirectories are named according to the family name of the fonts within.
|
||
|
||
Each family subdirectory contains the `.ttf` font files served by Google Fonts, plus a `METADATA.pb` file with metadata for the family, and a `DESCRIPTION.en_us.html` with a description of the family in US English.
|
||
|
||
Also [/designers](designers) contains a list of the Google+ pages for the fonts' designers.
|
||
|
||
## Bug reports and improvement requests
|
||
|
||
If you find a problem with a font file, or have a request for future development of a font project, please [create a new issue in this project's issue tracker](https://github.com/google/fonts/issues).
|
||
|
||
## Download All Google Fonts
|
||
|
||
You can download all Google Fonts in a simple ZIP snapshot (over 300MB) from <https://github.com/google/fonts/archive/master.zip>
|
||
|
||
#### Sync With Git
|
||
|
||
You can also sync the collection with git, so that you can update by only fetching what has changed.
|
||
To learn how to use git, Github provides [illustrated guides](https://guides.github.com) and a [youtube channel](https://www.youtube.com/user/GitHubGuides), and a [learning game that takes just 15 minutes](https://try.github.io).
|
||
Free, open source git applications are available for [Windows](https://msysgit.github.io) and [Mac OS X](http://gitx.laullon.com).
|
||
|
||
## Licensing
|
||
|
||
It is important to always read the license for every font that you use.
|
||
Each font family directory contains the appropriate license file for the fonts in that directory.
|
||
The fonts files themselves also contain licensing and authorship metadata.
|
||
|
||
Most of the fonts in the collection use the SIL Open Font License, v1.1.
|
||
Some fonts use the Apache 2 license.
|
||
The Ubuntu fonts use the Ubuntu Font License v1.0.
|
||
|
||
The SIL Open Font License has an option for copyright holders to include a Reserved Font Name requirement, and this option is used with some of the fonts.
|
||
If you modify those fonts, please take care of this important detail.
|
||
|
||
## Source Files
|
||
|
||
Source files for each family are often available from the designer, or from https://github.com/googlefonts
|
||
|
||
These fonts are usually the result of collaborative projects, where you are invited to discuss issues with the designers and even contribute to their on-going development.
|
||
|
||
When customising or remixing fonts, please do contact the designers to understand what they might need in order to include your improvements.
|
||
|
||
Most of all: Enjoy the fonts!
