Fontsource

NPM packaging of self-hostable open-source fonts (2000+ families). Closes the "Google Fonts CSS API in a shipped game / offline build" problem: version-locked files, no runtime Google request. The bundler is MIT. The faces are not. GitHub README: most use SIL OFL 1.1, some Apache 2, Ubuntu faces use the Ubuntu Font License. Read the package README. The fonts.google.com/icons-style JS directory does not replace that file.

Notes

  • Install @fontsource/<id> or @fontsource-variable/<id>. Godot/Unity still want the TTF/WOFF from files/ inside the package, not the CSS helper
  • MIT on fontsource/fontsource LICENSE is Ayuhito's packaging code. Embedding Inter is still Inter's OFL
  • Live API example on 2026-08-24: api.fontsource.org/v1/fonts/inter reports license: OFL-1.1
  • Ubuntu Font License is not OFL. Do not assume every package is OFL
  • Checklist: license text in README + per-package files, commercial OK for OFL/Apache majority, attribution per OFL, not a marketplace, named org, not blocklisted, software vs font licenses split

Evidence

  • Live GitHub README, Licensing (2026-08-24): "Most of the fonts in the collection use the SIL Open Font License, v1.1"
  • Same section (2026-08-24): "Some fonts use the Apache 2 license. The Ubuntu fonts use the Ubuntu Font License v1.0"
  • Live GitHub LICENSE (2026-08-24): "MIT License Copyright (c) 2024 Ayuhito"
