Language Font Finder Service

This project provides a micro service responder when passed language tag will return information on a possible font to use for the orthography for that language tag.

Details of the returned JSON object may be found here.

Access

The Language Font Finder service is available at https://lff.api.languagetechnology.org/docs.

The service has the following endpoints available:
