# fonts for constructed scripts

i have created a lot of writing systems for different
purposes. i thought it would be cool to use them
on a computer. so this repo is for storing the sources
of fonts for these scripts.

note: my scripts are weird, fonts for them might be
even more weird, use on your own risk.

## building fonts

i draw font's glyphs in inkscape, tweak glyph spacings
in fontforge, then compile using fontmake.

install fontmake in it's dedicated venv, along with
required dependencies

```
$ python -m venv fontmake-venv
$ . fontmake-venv/bin/activate
$ pip install fontmake brotli
```

to build a font, navigate to its directory and run `make`.
otf and woff2 files will be in output directory.

## licence

all fonts are licenced under the ofl licence.
see file `LICENCE.OFL.txt` in the repo.

all other assets, images, whatever are licenced under
creative commons non-commercial licence.
see file `LICENCE.CC-BY-NC.txt` in the repo.
