The purpose of this repository is to serve as a test case for comparing OpenType (.otf) fonts built with the AFDKO's makeotf tool, with fonts built with fontmake from the same source files.
The font source files in this repository are a simplified version of,
- Source Sans Pro Regular
- Source Serif Pro Regular
When processed with makeotf, these files should produce OpenType-CFF fonts that are very similar to version 2.020, and version 1.017 respectively, with one significant different: the fonts made from this repository will not have hints.
To build Source Sans with makeotf use this command:
sh buildSans-makeotf.shAnd to build Source Sans with fontmake use this command:
sh buildSans-fontmake.sh+---+-------------------------+-----------+-----------------+--------------+
