This project was born out of necessity in that I needed the family name of google fonts after I've added them to a private font collection that doesn't persist after application shutdown. Google font metadata provides a family name but that's actually the preferred family name. Unfortunately, GDI+ (and most other APIs I've found) will not use this name for querying. I also have no way of fetching the family name through GDI+ unfortunately.
This is a pretty specific use case but if anyone feels they could use it, I wouldn't mind expanding the project past the scope of my personal use case. Make an issue or suggestion if you want.
