Method to retrieve a list of downloadable fonts on iOS 7. This method may block for a while (it can involve a network call) so don't call on main thread. The return is a dictionary that maps font families to arrays of font names in that family.
+ (NSDictionary *)downloadableFonts
{
CTFontDescriptorRef desc = CTFontDescriptorCreateWithAttributes((CFDictionaryRef)@{(id)kCTFontDownloadableAttribute : (id)kCFBooleanTrue});
CFArrayRef matchedDescs = CTFontDescriptorCreateMatchingFontDescriptors(desc, NULL);
NSArray *array = (__bridge NSArray *)matchedDescs;
NSMutableDictionary *families = [NSMutableDictionary dictionary];
for (UIFontDescriptor *fontDescriptor in array) {
NSString *familyName = fontDescriptor.fontAttributes[UIFontDescriptorFamilyAttribute];

How to move to a fork after cloning
So you've cloned somebody's repo from github, but now you want to fork it and contribute back. Never fear!
Technically, when you fork "origin" should be your fork and "upstream" should be the project you forked; however, if you're willing to break this convention then it's easy.
* Off the top of my head *
1. Fork their repo on Github
2. In your local, add a new remote to your fork; then fetch it, and push your changes up to it
git remote add my-fork [email protected]
