font

Work in progress but it currently reads a lot of info already.

Usage

npm install font

var font = require('font');

// get an array of fonts from the OS's font directory
font.listFonts();

// loads a file from either the font directory or a full path
font.loadFont('filename.ttf')

// the constructor and prototype
font.Font
