## Building
|
|
|
|
To build Iosevka you should:
|
|
|
|
1. Ensure that `node`, `FontForge` (≥ Aug. 2015 release), `ttfautohint`, `ttx` and `make` are runnable in your terminal.
|
|
2. Install necessary libs by `npm install`
|
|
3. `make`.
|
|
|
|
You will find ttfs in the `build/` directory.
|
|
|
|
## Build your own style
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Iosevka comes with several visual styles, however they are inactive using the default build. To build these variants you should use style variables in the `make` procedure:
|
|
|
|
* `STYLE_COMMON` for both uprights and italics,
|
|
* `STYLE_UPRIGHT` for upright and oblique, and
|
|
* `STYLE_ITALICS` for itaics only.
|
|
|
|
You can add arbitary styles for these variables, for example, `make STYLE_UPRIGHT='v-l-zshaped v-i-zshaped'` to create a variant with Z-shaped letter `l` and `i` for uprights.
|
|
|
|
The current avaliable styles are:
|
|
|
|
* Styles for letter `l`:
|
|
* `v-l-hooky` : Hooky `l`
|
|
* `v-l-zshaped` : Z-shaped `l`
|
|
* `v-l-serifed` : Serifed `l` (default for upright and oblique)
|
|
* `v-l-italic` : Italic `l` (default for italic)
|
|
* Styles for letter `i`:
|
|
* `v-i-hooky` : Hooky `i`
|
|
* `v-i-zshaped` : Z-shaped `i`
|
|
* `v-i-serifed` : Serifed `i` (default for upright and oblique)
|
|
* `v-i-italic` : Italic `i` (default for italic)
|
|
* Styles for letter `a`:
|
|
* `v-a-doublestorey` : Double-storey `a` (default for upright and oblique)
|
|
* `v-a-singlestorey` : Single-storey `a` (default for italic)
|
|
* Styles for letter `g`:
|
|
* `v-g-doublestorey` : Double-storey `g` (default)
|
|
* `v-g-singlestorey` : Single-storey `g`
|
|
* Styles for letter `0`:
|
|
* `v-zero-slashed` : Slashed Zero `0` (default)
|
|
* `v-zero-dotted` : Dotted Zero `0`
|
|
* `v-zero-unslashed` : O-like `0`
|
|
* Styles for ASCII tilde (`~`) and asterisk (`*`):
|
|
* `v-tilde-high` : Higher tilde `~` (default)
|
|
* `v-tilde-low` : Lower tilde `~`
|
|
* `v-asterisk-high` : Higher asterisk `*` (default)
|
|
* `v-asterisk-low` : Lower asterisk `*`
