Download

Ready-to-use font files are in the latest release. Generated font files are not stored in the repository itself.

Building the fonts

The fonts are built from the sources in sources/ with fontmake via gftools builder.

python3 -m venv venv
source venv/bin/activate
pip install -r requirements.txt
gftools builder sources/config.yaml

The result is written to fonts/. A GitHub Action builds and checks the fonts on every push once sources exist. Pushing a tag like v1.000 creates a release with a ZIP of the fonts.

Contributing

Bug reports, glyph requests and pull requests are welcome. See CONTRIBUTING.
