Font Tool

Font testing and management with data-driven rankings — every apply, like, dislike, or note is logged, and rankings emerge from your real usage. A standalone project: datapointchris/font is the source of truth for the full command reference, data model, and sync.

In this system

• Install — custom installer (install/common/custom-installers/font.sh): git clone to ~/.local/share/font, symlink into ~/.local/bin. Update with font upgrade.
• Applies to dotfiles-managed apps — font apply sets the font for Ghostty and Neovim (the configs this repo deploys) in one step and auto-logs the change.
• Data — per-platform history in ~/.config/font/ (history-<platform>.jsonl plus rejection files); cross-machine sync via GitHub Gist. Each platform writes only its own files, so there are no merge conflicts.
