:sparkles: Create font installation process #26

Open BattleCh1cken opened 4 months ago

BattleCh1cken commented 4 months ago

Requested Feature

Each of the themes currently use different fonts, but there isn't a good way to package fonts with a library in Typst.

Possible Implementation

Have the fonts included in the resources, and create a script that automatically installs them.
Wait until the Typst template system is finalized, and packaging fonts with templates is possible.

At the very least we should tell the users in the documentation what fonts need to be installed for each theme.

BattleCh1cken commented 1 month ago

It looks like Typst will support a feature called resources, which will let us embed the fonts directly into the project. In the mean time I propose we migrate all of our fonts to googlefonts, and then write a script that can automatically fetch them for the user. This is extremely important for the quick start template because installing fonts is incredibly annoying in that environment.
