Overview
Font Mapper is a Dart CLI tool designed to streamline font asset management in Flutter projects. It automatically scans local font files and updates the `fonts:` section in the pubspec.yaml file, eliminating manual configuration. Ideal for projects with numerous or frequently changing fonts, it ensures consistency and reduces setup time.
