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
