Install

Binary file is provided as releases. This repository provides pre-built data for the font. Glyph data is provided as compressed SVG Font format. This is due to the limitation of GitHub to accept only less than 100M byte file size. (Uncompressed glyph data would exceed 120M bytes.)

To build the fonts, you need to install newest AFDKO from github (as of Jan. 2018) and Adobe Type Tools / Perl Scripts. Then put the directory of perl scripts to $ADOBE_PERL variable, such as "$HOME/.ghq/github.com/adobe-type-tools/perl-scripts/".

Then, run the following commands to create the fonts. (Please keep in mind that it may take long time to build the fonts.)

unxz HanaMinA.svg.xz
tx -t1 HanaMinA.svg HanaMinA.pfa >>HanaMinA.log 2>>HanaMinA.err
mergeFonts -cid HanaMinA.cidinfo HanaMinA.raw HanaMinA.cidmap HanaMinA.pfa >>HanaMinA.log 2>>HanaMinA.err
# checkOutlines -e -k -O -x HanaMinA.pfa >/dev/null 2>>HanaMinA.err
perl $(ADOBE_PERL)/hintcidfont.pl hintparam.txt < HanaMinA.raw > HanaMinA.hinted.raw
