Source Serif Pro is a set of OpenType fonts to complement the Source Sans Pro family. In addition to a functional OpenType font, this open source project provides all of the source files that were used to build this OpenType font by using the AFDKO makeotf tool.
The font binaries are available in the release branch. They can also be downloaded from SourceForge.
To build the binary font files from source, you need to have installed the Adobe Font Development Kit for OpenType (AFDKO). The AFDKO tools are widely used for font development today, and are part of most font editor applications.
The key to building OTF or TTF fonts is makeotf, which is part of the AFDKO toolset.
Information and usage instructions can be found by executing makeotf -h.
In this repository, all necessary files are in place for building the OTF and TTF fonts.
For example, build a binary OTF font for the Regular style like this:
$ cd Roman/Regular/
$ makeotf -rFor 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:
$ ./build.shSend suggestions for changes to the Source Serif OpenType font project maintainer, [Frank Grießhammer](mailto:opensourcefonts@adobe.com?subject=[GitHub] Source Serif Pro), for consideration.
