noto-hinted

Noto fonts hinted with ttfautohint.

This repository contains

• hinted versions of (some) Noto fonts generated with ttfautohint,

• HTML test pages that embed the created fonts,

• snapshot images of all HTML test pages, as rendered by Firefox, Chrome, and IE on MS Windows, and

• a Makefile and some auxiliary files to (re)create the fonts, HTML test pages, and the snapshots.

Go to

https://rawgit.com/lemzwerg/noto-hinted/master/

or

http://htmlpreview.github.io/?https://github.com/lemzwerg/noto-hinted/blob/master/index.html

to view the top-level index file of the HTML test pages.

The snapshots are created automatically by BrowserStack, kindly providing an account to access its screenshot API.

Adding new fonts

• Add a call to the FontFamily function to the existing ones at the end of GNUmakefile. The last two arguments FontFamily are a four-letter script tag (like Ethi) and a two- or three-letter language tag (like am), respectively.

• Say make html to run ttfautohint on the fonts (which must be present in the unhinted directory of the noto-fonts git repository) and to generate the HTML webpages.

• Commit the changes to the repository.

• Say make to run the screenshooter program which takes screen snapshots from BrowserStack. This can easily fail so it might be necessary to repeat make until all screen shots are taken.

  Note that you need a BrowserStack account to make this step work; user name and password in the form username:password should be put into a file .browserstack in your home directory.
