Add Fontawesome fonts #401

Closed mintyfrankie closed 2 weeks ago

mintyfrankie commented 1 month ago

Description

Would it be possible to add Fontawesome to the font list on webapp?

Use Case

It can be used seamlessly with the fontawesome package and various templates (for example brilliant-cv), without the need to manually download and upload the fonts to the online editor.

Licensing looks like it would take a bunch of lawyers to figure out which plan Typst GmbH would need in order to serve it. Perhaps a more elegant and broader reaching solution would be an IDE integration for purchasing licenses to fonts? It shouldn't be in any way a priority but it would for sure make for a nice UX

@JamesxX thanks for your reply! You are right, I totally forgot the complexity of all these licensing stuff.

Closing this issue for the time being as no follow-up can be given.
