About
GFS Didot is a typeface listed on Google Fonts. The supplied Homebrew cask installs one font file: GFSDidot-Regular., in the regular style. It does not install a separate application.
To install it, run brew install --cask font-gfs-didot. Once installed, select GFS Didot in the font menu of an application that supports custom fonts, such as a document editor or design app. Installing the font makes it available to compatible applications; it does not automatically change their text styling.
The cask provides only the listed regular font file. The available evidence does not establish other styles, full Unicode coverage, or ligature support.
