This repository is designed to show how I typically organise a font project. There's not much here at the moment, but the plan is to adopt the Unified Font Repository standard - see https://github.com/raphaelbastide/Unified-Font-Repository/
Graham Sans is a font I released as freeware way back in 2005. I look back on it now and cringe, but hey - it may be of use to someone as a starting point for a typeface that's actually good.
There are two weights, Regular and Bold, and the only changes I've made are to combine the single weights as two masters in one Fontlab 7 file. The contours are now interpolatable and I've created an intermediate instance, Semi Bold, to prove it.
The fonts are stored as a FontLab 7 file and also as a UFO DesignSpace file. To create a set of fonts usable in applications (.ttf, .otf etc), you'll need to run the build process. It's a little convoluted but it works for now, at least on a Mac. I'd like to tidy it up or move everything to Python before blogging about it.
Anyway. You'll need Python installed. I've tested this with v3.9.
The best way of running Python is to create a virtual environment. Open a terminal in this folder and then execute the following commands in sequence:
python3 -m venv .
source ./bin/activate
pip3 install fontparts fontmake gftools
Then run the bash script in the scripts folder:
source scripts/buildFontsFromSource.sh
Fonts in ttf, otf, variable, woff and woff2 will be available in the build folder.
