   Description     : Google Fonts Metadata Utilities

  A python API for interacting with Google Fonts protobuf definitions
  This crate provides:
     * Helpers for reading metadata from a local copy of the Google Fonts repository.
     * Access to Protobuf definitions for families, languages, axes and designers.
     * Structured access to the tags and categories used in Google Fonts.

This package is the new build-dependency to src:gftools via src:axisregistry,
but the library is written entirely in Rust as a Crate. Some knowledge about
both Python and Rust ecosystem is necessary.

Thanks,
Boyuan Yang
