The key to building the OTF fonts is `makeotf` , which is part of the AFDKO toolset.
Information and usage instructions can be found by executing `makeotf -h` . The TTFs
are generated with the `otf2ttf` and `ttfcomponentizer` tools.

### Building all non-variable fonts
2012-09-25 02:35:10 +04:00
2019-09-06 02:52:06 +03:00
For convenience, a shell script named **build.sh** is provided in the root directory.
2012-09-25 02:35:10 +04:00
It builds all OTFs and TTFs, and can be executed by typing:
2013-05-01 05:32:57 +04:00
```sh
$ ./build.sh
```
2012-09-25 02:35:10 +04:00
2015-08-31 21:16:10 +03:00
or this on Windows:
```sh
> build.cmd
```
2019-09-06 02:52:06 +03:00
### Building the variable fonts
To build the variable TTFs you must install **fontmake** using this command:
2012-09-25 02:35:10 +04:00
2019-09-06 02:52:06 +03:00
```sh
$ pip install fontmake
```
2012-12-07 08:09:16 +04:00
2019-09-06 02:52:06 +03:00
A shell script named **buildVFs.sh** is provided in the root directory.
It generates four variable fonts (two CFF2-OTFs and two TTFs), and can be executed by typing:
2012-09-27 22:27:42 +04:00
2019-09-06 02:52:06 +03:00
```sh
$ ./buildVFs.sh
```
