Feature request: get fonts data or url

[florian-lefebvre]

When using tools like Satori, we need to load fonts. It would be great to be able to access the data loaded in an endpoint

Hey @florian-lefebvre,

With the recently released version, now all the font files are present in a astro-font specific directory: https://github.com/rishi-raj-jain/astro-font/blob/master/packages/astro-font/utils.ts#L89

Does this solve your use case?

[rishi-raj-jain]

Btw, love the support! Happy to improve the library.

I can't try it now but it sounds good! It may be great to provide a little utility function to retrieve the data like:

export const getFontData = (fontName: string): ArrayBuffer => {
	// ...
}

Looking into this. Reading upon how can I do this.

I can use your direction here, how ideally would this function work?

[florian-lefebvre]

I already shared the type signature above. Regarding its behavior, you're currently fonts files inside your cache. This function would retrieve the right font data (just reading the file content really) from the font family name
