Istok is a new sans serif typeface. At present it has the four fonts with
|
|
support for Latin and Cyrillic. Most glyphs are manually instructed
|
|
using xgridfit but other ones are autoinstructed in fontforge.
|
|
|
|

|
|

|
|
and embed this font or unaltered portions of this font into the

|
|
however invalidate any other reasons why the document might be covered

Build and install instructions
|
|
==============================
|
|
|
|
You need fontforge (http://fontforge.sourceforge.net/), TTX/FontTools
|
|
(http://sourceforge.net/projects/fonttools/), xgridfit
|
|
(http://xgridfit.sourceforge.net/ - version as of April 2010) and
|
|
font-helpers (http://code.google.com/p/font-helpers/ ) in order to build
|
|
the truetype fonts from the sources. Also you should have the GNU make and
|
|
coreutils. At first you must unpack/copy the files from font-helpers into
|
|
the directory where *.sfd files are located. Then type
|
|
|
|
make
|
|
|
|
and the truetype fonts will be produced. On systems with X.Org you may do
|
|
|
|
make install
|
|
|
|
as root to install the fonts system-wide (/usr/share/fonts/TTF). Otherwise
|
|
copy the *.ttf files into the ~/.fonts/ directory. Then run fc-cache if you have
|
|
fontconfig.
|
|
|
|
The history of the font
|
|
=======================
|
|
|
|
The modified version of the CM Bright font was used for design of several
|
|
letters as raw material, other charaters are designed from scratch.
