Type Specimens:
The font is built using fontmake and gftools post processing script. Tools are all python based, so it must be previously installed.
To install all the Python tools into a virtualenv, do the following:
From terminal:
cd your/local/project/directory
#once in the project folder create a virtual environment.
This step has to be done just once, the first time
python3 -m venv venv
#activate the virtual environment.
Do this every time you work on the project
source venv/bin/activate
#install the required dependencies
This step has to be done only once after creating a new virtual environment
pip install -r requirements.txt
Then run the this command:
cd sources
gftools builder config.yml
