When generating <link>s for this font, you get a syntax convention that's new to me: "ital@0;1". :man_shrugging: Seems to fail on Cool's server.

google's: https://fonts.googleapis.com/css2?family=DM+Serif+Display:ital@0;1&display=swap

cool's: https://api.fonts.coollabs.io/css2?family=DM+Serif+Display:ital@0;1&display=swap

{"statusCode":500,"error":"Internal Server Error","message":"undefined is not iterable (cannot read property Symbol(Symbol.iterator))"}

First of all. Your project is fantastic and very useful. I'm trying to use it in our Picostrap Theme
There is a lot of GDPR compliance concern regarding usage of Google Fonts on the web. Your solution is really clever and so much easier to implement, compared to locally hosting the fonts.

Tinkering with your service I think I've found a bug. Some requests dealing with multiple fonts, when not including weights, apparently fail.

One example: https://api.fonts.coollabs.io/css2?family=Playfair+Display&family=Josefin+Sans&display=swap

Returns Playfair Display (correctly) and Montserrat(?)

To compare, the corresponding Google URL, https://fonts.googleapis.com/css2?family=Playfair+Display&family=Josefin+Sans&display=swap works as expected.

Thanks so much again for your project, and for your time looking into this.

Hello,

Not sure what is happening, but it appears that any font other than Roboto is not served from the API. A few days ago, everything was working nicely, but today I noticed the fonts were not loading and visiting the links results in a 404.

https://api.fonts.coollabs.io/css2?family=Roboto works, but not https://api.fonts.coollabs.io/css2?family=Merriweather or any other font I can think of.

In any case, thank you for providing this privacy respecting alternative for fonts. 🙂

This is not working for me (works with Google Fonts): https://api.fonts.coollabs.io/css2?family=Aguafina+Script:400&display=swap

While this is working: https://api.fonts.coollabs.io/css2?family=Aguafina+Script&display=swap

Is this a bug or is there anything else to consider, when loading font weights?

I've changed the code from .mjs to .ts. Also changed package commands.

  "scripts": {
    "start": "ts-node index.ts",
    "dev": "nodemon index.js",
    "tsc": "npx tsc --watch",
    "buil": "npx tsc"
  }

Bumps minimist from 1.2.5 to 1.2.6.

I feel stupid but, how exactly do I do this?

I've read the how to use but I still don't know.

This isn't fully related to this, but Ideally I wanted to block all remote fonts on all websites and have my "locally hosted" (google) fonts take over, but I'm not sure if that's possible? I'm not sure how to "locally host" fonts. If that isn't possible, I would like to set this up instead.

Can someone tell me if I even have the right way of thinking towards this stuff? Thanks.

Very cool! I like your thinking. All your documentation talks about when I am building a site how I can use Coollabs fonts instead of google's which is great.

Something else I would like to do is put an IP address in my hosts file for google fonts:

w.x.y.z fonts.googleapis.com w.x.y.z fonts.gstatic.com

Is this possible? If yes, what IP address can be used?

1. Would you recommend self-hosting this server on a VPS?
2. Would self-hosting from the same server as the website that consumes the font be a speed benefit? What if both Cool Fonts and the website that consumes it were hosted on the same Coolify instance?
3. Am I correct in assuming that, to self-host this, I could pull it down to my own Gitlab and deploy it from there via my Coolify instance?

Regardless - love this project! I was looking for something like this exactly when you were writing it, it seems. :)
