I think this would be nice, but only as an additional download. Abraham,
what do you think about that? Auto-generating a single-file download zip
and add it to the downloads?

I've contemplated that many times. I've even gotten *slightly* frustrated at myself when I've installed the fonts (on other computers than my usual ones) at how tedious it is to download each one individually. So, I understand what others may be feeling. I'm not quite sure what the right structure is for a single-file download. Do we have a single "otf" folder and all the .otf files go in it (same for the "svg" folder)? Do I take each of the .zip files and put them in a single flie? I don't know. A script certainly makes the duplicating much easier. I'm just not sure which I would prefer... Either way, having the individual downloads is nice since there are plenty of users who DO NOT want to get all of them. So that will stay.

 

When using the installation script I think it is good to have the fonts
available as separate downloads because the script will only download
new or updated fonts.

Best
Urs
