Fontpreview: Python library for font previews

  The link seems to point to a font viewer, not an actual font design tool.

    Agreed, not sure why the repo title wasn’t used. > fontpreview: Python library for font previews

    To be fair, the issue seems to really be with the HN title and not the actual project…

  I'm not sure how the title got so wrong. The github repo named "fontpreview" allows you to "create preview images from one or more selected fonts." Mind you, this is far more usefull to me than the original title. Though I wonder how it interacts with configuration files you might have on system. Previewing things implies that that's what the font will look like once used on your system.

  Just look at the "Advanced usage" https://github.com/MatteoGuadrini/fontpreview#advanced-usage https://github.com/MatteoGuadrini/fontpreview#advanced-usage chapter to understand the potential of this library
