Automating Fonts Previews with Python and Pillow

Selecting fonts from lists is a pain when you cant visualize how they'll look. Thats why I wrote a Python script using Pillow to auto-generate font previews.

# we're importing the needed libraries
import json
import requests
from PIL import Image, ImageDraw, ImageFont
from io import BytesIO
import os

# open fonts.json file to load fonts
with open('fonts.json') as f:
    fonts = json.load(f)

# set directory for font previews …
