FontDrop - ZIP Font Installer

Hey guys. I built FontDrop because dealing with massive font packs is a pain. Instead of extracting folders, digging through files, and installing fonts one by one, you can just drag and drop the whole ZIP file into this app.

What it does:

• Drag & Drop ZIPs: Throw one or multiple ZIP files straight into the app. It scans them instantly.
• Live Previews: Hover over the eye icon to see exactly what the font looks like before you clutter your system.
• One-Click Install: Select the ones you want and hit install. It handles the Windows registry stuff in the background.
• Manage Installed Fonts: Search through what’s already on your PC and uninstall the garbage you don't need.
• History: Keeps a log of what you installed and when.

How to Use

Literally just double-click FontDrop.exe.

Note: It will pop up a Windows Admin prompt (UAC) asking for permission or if it doesn't prompt just run it as administrator.

Troubleshooting (If things look weird or crash)

Since this app wraps a modern web UI inside a desktop window, it relies on a couple of standard Windows components. If you are on a brand-new PC or an older version of Windows, you might run into these:

1. The app looks like a broken, ugly website from 90s Your Windows is missing the modern UI engine (WebView2), so it panicked and fell back to Internet Explorer.

• The Fix: Download and install the "WebView2 Evergreen Bootstrapper" from Microsoft's official site.

2. The app crashes instantly or says "Missing DLL" Your PC is missing the base C++ libraries that Python apps need to run.

• The Fix: Download and install the "Visual C++ 2015-2022 Redistributable" from Microsoft.

3. Fonts say "Failed" or "Permission Denied" You didn't run the app as an Administrator. Close it, right-click FontDrop.exe, and select "Run as Administrator".

For Geeks: It won't run? Recompile it yourself.

If the .exe absolutely refuses to work on your specific setup (for example, if you are stubbornly still using Windows 7), you can just build the .exe yourself natively on your machine.

1. Open the raw_file folder included in this download.
2. Make sure you have Python installed on your PC.
3. Open your terminal or command prompt in that folder and install the requirements: pip install pywebview pyinstaller
4. Run this exact command to compile your own .exe: pyinstaller --noconfirm --onefile --windowed --name FontDrop --manifest fontdrop.manifest font_installer_app.py

The fresh .exe will pop out in the dist folder.
