## Project layout
## Project layout / contributing
- All information about the fonts is stored in [fonts.json](https://github.com/braver/programmingfonts/blob/gh-pages/fonts.json).
- Which adheres to [a schema](https://github.com/braver/programmingfonts/blob/gh-pages/fonts-schema.json).
- Font files are stored in [fonts/resources](https://github.com/braver/programmingfonts/tree/gh-pages/fonts/resources).
- We store only 4 variants (if available), in `.woff` format (if available): regular, italic, bold, bold+italic
- All font files (and directories) are normalized to lowercase, without `-mono` unless it's really part of the name.
- The license needs to allow serving in a website, or an agreement with the font creators needs to be made.
- The [fonts.less](https://github.com/braver/programmingfonts/blob/gh-pages/fonts/stylesheets/fonts.less) registers the variants for each font "alias" and is used to generate the stylesheets.
- The license needs to allow serving in a website, or an agreement with the font creators needs to be made. If available we add the license along with the font files.
- Running `npm install && npm run test` checks the json and builds the stylesheet.

- Open type alternatives for zero style, and other options (e.g. all the different variations possible with [Input Mono](https://input.fontbureau.com)) are not exposed.
- Available weights (variants) are not exposed and cannot be explored.
- I would be nice to include more commercial fonts. Creators need to eat to, and not all the best fonts are open source. However, it is not always possible to arrange a license for usage of the font in this website.
- Character set coverage and other valuable information, e.g. if a font has true italics, is not exposed.
- Background info on each font can usually be found in the blog and needs to be added to the `description` property for each font.
