This will tell your desktop GitHub app that you want it to check W0ng’s Font Directory for updates any time it opens. When that’s done, go back to W0ng’s Google Font directory page and press “Clone in Mac” (or “Clone in Win”). When you open it up, it’ll ask you to create a GitHub account.

To do this, get the GitHub app for Mac or Windows and install it. The only problem is that Google’s fonts are updated constantly, so you want to ensure that you’re receiving all the updates. Now, you could just go there, press download, and copy all the files into your computer’s Fonts directory. Luckily for us, W0ng created this Github repository of the entire Google Font directory in one convenient folder. SkyFonts is a lightweight utility that allows users to install desktop fonts effortlessly and sync them on up to five devices. Skyfonts is looking to profit by making Google’s free fonts available offline, but there’s no sense in paying them to do something you can do easily (and freely) yourself.

Recently, Google and Skyfonts announced a new tool/service to automatically sync Google Fonts to your desktop. SkyFonts 3.0.0.33: Install and use Google Fonts offline SkyFonts is a small tool which can install Google Fonts (Google's collection of more than 1,100 professional fonts) on a PC or Mac for offline use, automatically update them as required, even synchronise these fonts with all your devices. Until now, it’s been difficult to download all the Google fonts to your hard drive so you can experiment in your desktop design apps. Since they’re all open licensed, they’re also a great way for budding designers to build up their font collection knowing that nobody is going to come ‘round asking for royalties. That is one of the downsides to loading fonts locally vs through Google API. Nice, huh?) They’re hosted on Google’s servers and can be added to your website or blog with a single line of code, making it easy to bring exciting typography to your online work. Google offers a font manager tool called Skyfonts which helps keep fonts up to date. (Look around! I use them extensively on. It’s a huge library of free, open-licensed fonts that give web designers a huge new palette to work with, going beyond the same old tired “ web safe” fonts.
