This script downloads the otherwise inaccessible Web Font Formats from a provided Google Fonts stylesheet and generates a SCSS partial to easily import into a project.
This Script contacts external (web) servers. You are responsible for the servers that are contacted as a result of the use of this script.
This script was developed and tested on macOS.
It requires the installation of python (at least 3.10) via Homebrew. This can be accomplished using the following command:
brew install python
Make sure to close and reopen your shell afterwards for all changes to take effect.
