A python API for evaluating language support in the Google Fonts collection.

Project description

This python module provides an API with data about languages/regions/scripts for use in the language-support categorization of the font families in the Google Fonts collection.

You can also directly access the raw textproto files on the Lib/gflanguages/data directory:

Most of the code in this project was copied from the gftools repository (https://github.com/googlefonts/gftools/) so that language/region/script data can be easily available to all our tools without having to also get the large dependency tree of gftools. The most immediate user of this module is Font Bakery, which needs to validate language support on font binaries being checked. (see https://github.com/googlefonts/fontbakery/issues/3605)

The second obvious user of this gflanguages module will be gftools itself. I'll be sending a pull request soon.

Language/region/script definitions are still being gradualy updated on the google/fonts repo, on its lang/ directory (https://github.com/google/fonts/tree/main/lang) and this gflanguages module will try to be kept in sync.

Ideally at some point this module would become the main place to update these definitions, avoiding data duplication and guaranteeing uniformity across tools. But that will require coordination with the Google Fonts team, so I hope this module can serve, for now, as a prototype for such proposed integration.
