LibFonts (1.0.0)

Overview

LibFonts provides a centralized location for a vast collection of fonts that can be easily integrated into your addon. All fonts are free to use in any way you like, with most sourced from the 1001 Free Fonts website. Currently, it supports over 80 fonts, and more can be added as needed. The fonts are not loaded into memory until they are used, so you don’t have to worry about memory or resource management.

If you find any bugs, please let me know and I will address them as soon as possible.
