usage: Add or update a designer entry in the Google Fonts catalog.
Designer profiles are stored in the google/fonts repo:
https://github.com/google/fonts/tree/main/catalog/designers
This script is intended to help onboarders quickly create individual designer
profiles.
Designer Profiles are visible to the public. They are included in the the about
section for each family e.g:
https://fonts.google.com/specimen/Roboto#about
In 2021, Rosalie Wagner created an online form for us to collect designer
information from the general public. The form populates a private spreadsheet.
There is also an image directory where the designer's profile pics are uploaded into.
In order to use the spreadsheet command in this script, you will need to
download the folder which contains the spreadsheet and designer images.
You can then use the ``--spreadsheet`` arg.
Usage:
# Add or update a designer entry. User will need to hand complete the bio.html.
$ gftools add-designer path/to/local/clone/fonts/catalog/designers "Theo Salvadore" --img_path path/to/img.png
# Add or update a designer entry using the spreadsheet.
$ gftools add-designer path/to/local/clone/fonts/catalog/designers "Theo Salvador" --img_path path/to/img.png --spreadsheet ./GFDesigners.xlsx
