font_info_google {sysfonts} | R Documentation

## Display Information of Available Google Fonts

### Description

This function returns a data frame that contains the metadata of font families available in Google Fonts, for example the family name, available font face variants, the version number, etc. When running this function for the first time, it may take a few seconds to fetch the database. This function requires the jsonlite and curl packages.

### Usage

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

### 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 data frame containing metadata of Google Fonts.
