@github-actions github-actions released this 24 Oct 21:23

Ligatures 1.1.0, the free font manager for Mac.

What's new

  • New app icon. A fresh red icon replaces the monoline "fi".
  • Built by GitHub Actions. This release's download is built and checked automatically on GitHub's macOS machines, with a SHA-256 checksum file alongside it.
  • Lowercase names. The repository is now khanh-ly/ligatures and the download is ligatures.zip. Old links keep working.
  • Better README. A download link, light and dark screenshots, and badges for the latest version, build status, macOS version and license.

The features from 1.0 are unchanged: browse and install fonts from Google Fonts and Fontshare, grid and list views, favorites, and new-font alerts.

Install

  1. Download ligatures.zip below and double-click it.
  2. Drag Ligatures into your Applications folder. If you have 1.0, replace it; your installed fonts and favorites are kept.
  3. Open it. Because the app isn't notarized by Apple, macOS blocks it the first time:
    • Click Done on the message that macOS can't verify the app.
    • Open System Settings → Privacy & Security, scroll down and click Open Anyway next to the message about Ligatures.
    • Confirm with your password. From then on it opens normally.

Requirements: macOS 12 or later, on Apple silicon or Intel.

@khanh-ly khanh-ly released this 20 Oct 23:40

The first release of Ligatures, the free fonts manager: browse every free family on Google Fonts and Fontshare and install them on your Mac with one click.

Features

  • Two libraries. About 2,015 families from Google Fonts and Fontshare, with live previews in your own text and size.
  • Find fonts fast. Search by family or designer, filter by library, category and language, and sort by popularity, trending, newest, name or number of styles.
  • Grid and list views, with a details panel showing every style, the license, variable axes and web embed code.
  • Install and uninstall straight into ~/Library/Fonts. Uninstalled fonts go to the Trash, and Ligatures only ever removes fonts it installed.
  • New font alerts each time you open the app, plus favorites.
  • Self-contained. Nothing else to install: no Python or developer tools needed.

Install

  1. Download ligatures.zip below and double-click it.
  2. Drag Ligatures into your Applications folder.
  3. Open it. Because the app isn't notarized by Apple, macOS blocks it the first time:
    • Click Done on the message that macOS can't verify the app.
    • Open System Settings → Privacy & Security, scroll down and click Open Anyway next to the message about Ligatures.
    • Confirm with your password. From then on it opens normally.

Requirements: macOS 12 or later, on Apple silicon or Intel.
