json.loads should be called with named parameter for the second argument (encoding). Without this the load script fails with the error:

I might want to fix this issue and create a PR on it.

Downgrading the python3.6 packages to 3.6.4-3 fixes the FTBFS.

same happens on arch linux AUR, https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/typecatcher/

In Spanish-speaking countries we use two family names. To address Gabriel García Márquez you would normally say “Mr. García”, not “Mr. Márquez”. He was and is mostly known by his two family names.

This practice sometimes causes us problems internationally: when we have a scientific paper published, we have to hyphenate our family names so people don’t think we have a middle name or mis-sort us in a database.

typecatcher is amazing app for linux.. but how to install it on fedora and other Linux os s?
is there any way to install typecatcher other than Ubuntu and deb based systems.?

Is it possible to sort fonts by category? The Google Fonts website supports categories (serif, sans-serif, display, handwriting, monospace), thickness, slant, width, script...

To me, the category is most important. It's really difficult to look for monospace fonts using title search, when half of them don't have the word "mono" in the title.

Repo, you're directing people to use is broken for Debian buster

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:andrewsomething/typecatcher
 TypeCatcher allows you to search, browse, and download Google webfonts for off-line use. You can preview fonts with adjustable size and text.

It could relate to #12 but the error message is different and is at a different stage.

Please use the loading animation provided by GTK.

Please add support of sorting by supported languages like on google website https://fonts.google.com

This is a great program!

I would love it if typecatcher could install a specific Google font via the command line and then exit without launching the GUI, like this:

$ typecatcher --install "abel,aguafina script,lobster"

This would be a wonderful automation help.

When I installed this with Ubuntu 21.10 it crashes on launch. However, if I clone this repo and run the bin/typecatcher file it works fine. A diff on the two versions showed that they were exactly the same. It does not seem to like being run from /usr/bin. Strace did not seem to tell me much.
