## What it is
FontBlaster is a Swift library that programmatically loads custom fonts into iOS, macOS, and tvOS apps with a single line of code, eliminating the need for plist configuration. It supports .ttf, .otf, and .ttc files from the main bundle, custom bundles, and remote bundles.

## Use cases
- load custom fonts in an iOS app without editing Info.plist
- programmatically register ttf and otf fonts at runtime
- load fonts from a remote or nested bundle in Swift
- avoid plist font registration in a tvOS app
- bulk-load all fonts in an app bundle with one line

## When to choose
- you want to skip manual Info.plist UIAppFonts configuration
- you need to load fonts from dynamic or remote bundles
- you support iOS, macOS, and tvOS with one solution

## When to avoid
- you only need one or two static fonts already declared in Info.plist
- your app targets OS versions below iOS 17 / macOS 14
- you need cross-platform font loading outside Apple platforms
