This doesn't seem to work at all

As far as the Terminal goes, that seems to do as described (as shown below), however even after a restart FontBook doesn't show any more fonts than when I originally started (which is 324).

From what I can see, this isn't actually working as advertised (yet Terminal shows no errors).

I came here to open the same issue :)

Not sure if this helps, but when looking at the script, it gets to this line:

curl -L https://github.com/google/fonts/tarball/master -o /tmp/master.tar.gz

Trying to visit this in a browser gives a redirects to https://codeload.github.com/google/fonts/legacy.tar.gz/master and then shows a 404 not found message.

Perhaps this is the issue, as when I run the script and get to the point where the master.tar.gz is created in the tmp folder, that is only a few kb in size, and trying to extract that via the Finder, it tells me it's not a supported format.

Good lead!

Maybe this zip is also helpful? https://github.com/google/fonts/archive/main.zip (600MB)

from https://github.com/google/fonts readme

Edit: Seems it also exists there as a tarball https://github.com/google/fonts/archive/main.tar.gz

Edit 2: This seems to work 👇 so, maybe I can make a PR with that line tweaked to point to the main.tar.gz 🤔
