Google provides many useful services, including free and open source fonts. Unfortunately, managing any number of items on the Internet is not very comfortable, regardless of your preferred web browser. The good news is that Google has teamed up with SkyFonts and as a result, you can use SkyFonts to synchronize and install Google fonts on your computer. Additionally, the application makes it easier to find and manage your retrieved fonts.

The application is free, just like the Google fonts. It gives you access to fonts.com as well, which is not a free service. SkyFonts is available for Windows and Mac OS X platforms and it can be installed in no time. On Windows-powered machines, you will need .NET Framework 4.0. If you don't have it, the setup wizard will install it for you. You will also need to create an online account, when you run the application for the first time.

SkyFonts comes with a clean and efficient user interface. Its features are organized in separate sections, which can be accessed via navigation tabs. The application displays the available fonts services, your active fonts, a few configuration options and general information about the product.

Right now, the available services are fonts.com and Google Fonts. Each service is listed together with options for managing the retrieved fonts and for acquiring new ones. If you decide to get new fonts, the application will launch the fonts.com or Google Fonts website in your default browser. Once you add one or more fonts to your personal libraries, SkyFonts will automatically download the new fonts to your computer.

Clicking the Manage option, next to a listed service, will display options for managing fonts on the service's website or in your local folders. The interface's Fonts section is where you can find your active fonts. You can view all fonts or filter them if you wish to see only the items from fonts.com, Google Fonts or expired items. The best part is that SkyFonts can synchronize your fonts in real time. If one of your fonts receives an update or if new characters are added, the application will automatically update your retrieved fonts.

Pros

You can synchronize fonts from Google Fonts or fonts.com to your computer. The application can also synchronize any updates or new characters. Its user interface has a simple design and its options are easy to understand.

Cons

The application does not support other font services. SkyFonts gives you the possibility of downloading, managing and installing your favorite Google fonts as fast and easy as possible.
