What Sitra is
Sitra is a Linux app for finding and managing fonts from Google Fonts. It provides an interface to preview, install, and uninstall fonts, with category filters and searches by family or subset. Font previews use the Fontsource CDN, which the project describes as being for privacy. When you want to use a font on your device, Sitra downloads it from Google in TTF format. It also supplies code for using a font in a project through Fontsource CDN or npm. Sitra is available on Flathub for aarch64 and x86_64 architectures. The project repository identifies its license as GPL-3.0, and Flathub lists Ronnie Nissan as its maker. Version 0.1.3 notes list Turkish translations, an installed-font badge, and sorting that puts installed fonts first. Sitra is free: its Free plan is free. TTF is the listed supported font format.
