Newer: The font manager, in the terminal,  Up: News

The core and the command line exist

2026-09-03

fontina 0.0.1 is tagged. It is not a release for users yet, but the foundation is in place: a Rust core that parses TTF, OTF, TTC, WOFF and WOFF2 through fontations, a SQLite index with full-text search, and a fontina command line with scan, list, families, facets, info, dupes, css, check, covers, glyphs, license, specimen, tags, collections and sources. Every command takes --json and the output types are published as JSON Schema.

Continuous integration runs on GNU/Linux, macOS and Windows, checks the minimum supported Rust version, audits licenses and advisories, and diffs the schemas. Releases are built by a workflow with SLSA provenance and an SPDX bill of materials.

Next is font activation on all three platforms, a watch command, terminal previews and a terminal interface. The roadmap page has the details.
