fontain

a font-collection-system and a font-collection.

fontain is a collection of f/l/os compatible fonts (as fontforge sources) and a collection of utilities to transform the sources into popular font formats and create an interface to browse the collection online or locally.

• .otf = OpenType
• .ttf = TrueType
• .ufo.zip = Unified Font Object
• .eot = Embedded OpenType
• .woff = Web Open Font Format
• .svg = Scalable Vector Graphics
• .css = Cascading Style Sheets
• .texmf.zip = font files prepared to use with your TeX distribution

fontain has been developed and tested on Debian, the universal operating system and Ubuntu. fontain uses fontconvert and ttf2eot.

The browser ui uses Skeleton V1.2, rangeslider.js, jquery, ...

fontain is inspired by Use & Modify, respectively ofont.

MK_FONTS.SH HOWTO

mk_fonts.sh creates derivative formats from the fontforge source.

• install fontforge
• compile ttf2eot
• install texlive-font-utils

MK_UI.SH HOWTO

mk_ui.sh creates static html that can be used to browse the font collection, either local or online.

GENERAL HOWTO

Get a list of all font sources (may be used as selection in README)
find . -name "*.sfdir" -type d | rev | cut -d "/" -f 1 | rev | sed 's/.sfdir//g'

ONLINE CONFIGURATION

To allow local browsing we add index.html to the links. If you prefer to have this removed for the online version and use an apache web server add this to you .htaccess:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} index\.html
RewriteRule ^(.*)index\.html$ /path/to/fontain/$1 [R=301,L]
