# Source Code Pro
|
|
|
|
Source Code Pro is a set of OpenType fonts that have been designed to work well
|
|
in user interface (UI) environments. In addition to a functional OpenType font, this open
|
|
source project provides all of the source files that were used to build this OpenType font
|
|
by using the AFDKO makeotf tool.
|
|
|
|
## Download font binaries (OTF and TTF files)
|
|
|
|
The font binaries are not part of the repository. They can be
|
|
[downloaded from SourceForge here](https://sourceforge.net/projects/sourcecodepro.adobe/files/).
|
|
|
|
## Installation instructions

## Building from source
|
|
|
|
### Requirements
|
|
|
|
To build the binary font files from source, you need to have installed the
|
|
[Adobe Font Development Kit for OpenType](http://www.adobe.com/devnet/opentype/afdko.html) (AFDKO). The AFDKO
|
|
tools are widely used for font development today, and are part of most font
|
|
editor applications.
|
|
|
|
### Building one font
|
|
|
|
The key to building OTF or TTF fonts is `makeotf`, which is part of the AFDKO toolset.
|
|
Information and usage instructions can be found by executing `makeotf -h`.
|
|
|
|
In this repository, all necessary files are in place for building the OTF and TTF fonts.
|
|
For example, build a binary OTF font for the Regular style like this:
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
$ cd Roman/Regular/
|
|
$ makeotf -r
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Building all fonts
|
|
|
|
For convenience, a shell script named `build.sh` is provided in the root directory.
|
|
It builds all OTFs and TTFs, and can be executed by typing:
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
$ ./build.sh
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
