For... Hell, since sometime in 2019, I have known that the previous release of annatar no longer worked on the latest version of macOS thanks to Tim Cook's fuckery. This was caused by the fact that the fine folks over at Apple chose to move the fonts someplace else on your hard drive. I didn't fix it forever because, in fact, the fonts were moved someplace you couldn't get to the old fashioned way, and also because I changed jobs and began mostly using Windows for work again.

COVID giveth and COVID taketh away. Actually, I don't have more free time now thanks to beer plague; I have exactly the SAME amount of free time; it just so happens that I spent some of it researching the font problem and found a solution in the form of font-kit. Props to the Servo team over at Mozilla. The problem on macOS Catalina is now fixed.

Another arbitrary change is that alternate fonts are now selected by name rather than by path. I personally think this is a much more reasonable API, and it's what I would have done in the first place had I known how. The image above was made using the following command:

annatar https://longstupidurl.com \
    -b 'pls kill me' \
    -o fontleroy.jpg \
    --font 'Comic Sans MS'

Don't let your memes be dreams.
