Source Code Pro
|
|
====
|
|
|
|
Overview
|
|
----
|
|
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.

Pre-built font binaries
|
|
----
|
|
The font binaries are not part of the source files. They are provided in the [Downloads](https://github.com/adobe/Source-Code-Pro/downloads) section.

|
Requirements
|
|
----
|
|
|
|
For building binary font files from source, installation of the [Adobe Font Development Kit for OpenType](http://www.adobe.com/devnet/opentype/afdko.html) (AFDKO) is necessary. The AFDKO tools are widely used for font development today, and are part of most font editor applications.
|
|
|
|
Building one font
|
|
----
|
|
|
|
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:
|
|
|
|
$ 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:
|
|
|
|
$ ./build.sh
|
|
