R: List Font Families Available in Google Fonts

font_families_google {sysfonts} | R Documentation

## List Font Families Available in Google Fonts

### Description

The two versions of this function are equivalent, but the "underscore" naming is preferred.

This function lists family names of the fonts that are currently available in Google Fonts. When running this function for the first time, it may take a few seconds to fetch the font information database. This function requires the jsonlite and curl packages.

### Usage

    font_families_google(db_cache = TRUE, handle = curl::new_handle())

    font.families.google()

### Arguments

`db_cache` | whether to obtain font metadata from a cache site. Using cache is typically faster, but not as update-to-date as using the official API. If `db_cache` is set to `FALSE`, then metadata are retrieved from the Google Fonts API.
`handle` | a curl handle object passed to `curl::curl_download()` and `curl::curl_fetch_memory()`.

### Value

A character vector of available font family names in Google Fonts.
