theFont is a clean and minimalistic CLI tool to easily download and install fonts from daFont.com and 1001fonts.com.

bash <(curl -sL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/yashokuu/theFont/main/install.sh)

tf https://www.dafont.com/super-adorable.font
tf https://www.1001fonts.com/your-font-name-font.html

• Installs any font from daFont or 1001fonts with a single command
• Downloads + extracts + caches automatically
• No sudo needed, installs to ~/.local/share/fonts

• Python 3
• Python libraries: requests, beautifulsoup4, tqdm
  • The installer will attempt to install these via pip --user.
  • For Arch Linux users, the installer will prompt to install system packages (python-requests, python-bs4, python-tqdm) via pacman.
• System utilities: curl (for installation script), unzip, fc-cache

theFont is designed to work across various shells, including bash, zsh, and fish. The installer attempts to automatically add ~/.local/bin to your PATH in your shell's configuration file (.bashrc, .zshrc, or config.fish).

While theFont itself is a Python script and should function on most terminals, the install.sh script relies on bash and standard POSIX commands. If you are using a non-POSIX compliant terminal or shell, you may need to manually execute the commands within install.sh or adjust them for your environment.

Note on ASCII Art: The installer displays a small ASCII art cat. Its appearance may vary or appear broken on some terminals due to font rendering or terminal capabilities. This does not affect the functionality of the installer.
