Google Fonts

Google Fonts was launched in 2010 and revamped in 2011, 2016, 2020 and 2023. On March 3, 2020, Google updated the catalog website with support for variable fonts. On March 2, 2021, the Google Fonts team announced they were adding support for open source icons. == Font library ==

, Google Fonts had 1929 font families, including 543 variable font families. The library is maintained through Google Fonts' GitHub repository, where all font files can be obtained directly. Source files for many of the fonts are available from git repositories within the Google Fonts' GitHub organization, along with libre software tools used by the Google Fonts community. Licenses and distribution Most of the fonts are released under the SIL Open Font License 1.1, while some are released under the Apache License; both are libre licenses. The font library is also distributed by Monotype's SkyFonts and Adobe's Edge Web Fonts and Adobe Fonts (formerly Typekit) services. == Privacy issues ==

In February 2022, a German court ruled that a website using the Google Fonts API violated the European Union General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) by passing personally identifiable information (IP address) to Google without the user's consent or a legitimate interest in doing so. Website operators can avoid this privacy violation by self-hosting the fonts instead. == References ==
