## Building the fonts from source

### Requirements

To build the binary font files from source, you need to have installed the
[Adobe Font Development Kit for OpenType](https://github.com/adobe-type-tools/afdko/) (AFDKO).

### Building one font

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.

Commands to build the Regular style OTF font:

```sh
$ cd Roman/Instances/Regular/
$ makeotf -r -gs -omitMacNames
```

Commands to generate the Regular style TTF font:

```sh
$ otf2ttf SourceCodePro-Regular.otf
$ ttfcomponentizer SourceCodePro-Regular.ttf
```

### Building all non-variable 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
```

or this on Windows:

```sh
> build.cmd
```

### Building the variable fonts

To build the variable TTFs you must install **fontmake** using this command:

```sh
$ pip install fontmake
```

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:

```sh
$ ./buildVFs.sh
```
