electron-font-manager's Issues

Installing Fonts

Hi Shelley,

Do you have any plans to implement the ability to install fonts into a system using this package?

Thanks!

Is there any additional requirements for setting up on M1 Mac?

Hello. I got this error.

../node_modules/electron-font-manager/build/Release/font_manager.node
Module parse failed: Unexpected character '�' (1:0)
You may need an appropriate loader to handle this file type, currently no loaders are configured to process this file. See https://webpack.js.org/concepts#loaders
(Source code omitted for this binary file)

Environment

• M1 Mac
• version 12.5
• node version v16.4.0

const { getAvailableFonts } = require("electron-font-manager");

const fonts = getAvailableFonts();
console.log("fonts", fonts);

I'm trying to use this library for my electron project. But it is not working because of that error.
Thank you.

Enumerate system fonts on Windows

See: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/gdi/enumerating-the-installed-fonts

Module did not self-register in windows

Code:

app.whenReady().then(() => {
  createWindow()

  require('electron-font-manager').getAvailableFontFamilies().then(list => {
    console.log(list)
  })
})

Windows version: Windows 10 21H1

Font dialog support

Support for native font dialogs. While there is some macOS and GTK support to show a dialog, at the least this should support passing in the default font and getting the selected font back.

How can I use ES6 import version of this module?

How can I use ES6 import version of this module?

import { getAvailableFontFamilies } from 'electron-font-manager'

does it work?
