| 1 | 1. What's this? | ||
| 2 | ================= | ||
| 3 | |||
| 4 | The Liberation Fonts is font collection which aims display compatibility to | ||
| 5 | document files that used Times New Roman, Arial, Courier New as fonts. | ||
| 6 | |||
| 7 | |||
| 8 | 2. Requirements | ||
| 9 | ================= | ||
| 10 | |||
| 11 | * fontforge to be installed. | ||
| 12 | (http://fontforge.sourceforge.net) | ||
| 13 | |||
| 14 | |||
| 15 | 3. Install | ||
| 16 | ============ | ||
| 17 | |||
| 18 | 3.1 Decompress tarball | ||
| 19 | |||
| 20 | You can extract the files by following command: | ||
| 21 | |||
| 22 | $ tar zxvf liberation-fonts-[VERSION].tar.gz | ||
| 23 | |||
| 24 | 3.2 Build from the source | ||
| 25 | |||
| 26 | Change into directory liberation-fonts-[VERSION]/ and build from sources by | ||
| 27 | following commands: | ||
| 28 | |||
| 29 | $ cd liberation-fonts-[VERSION] | ||
| 30 | $ make | ||
| 31 | |||
| 32 | The built font files will be available in 'build' directory. | ||
| 33 | |||
| 34 | 3.3 Install to system | ||
| 35 | |||
| 36 | You can manually install the fonts by copying the TTFs to ~/.fonts for user | ||
| 37 | wide usage, or to /usr/share/fonts/truetype/liberation for system-wide | ||
| 38 | availability. | ||
| 39 | |||
| 40 | |||
| 41 | 4. Usage | ||
| 42 | ========== | ||
| 43 | |||
| 44 | The fonts should be installed and detected by the system after installation. | ||

| 47 | |||
| 48 | 5. License | ||
| 49 | ============ | ||
| 50 | |||

| 52 | |||

| 54 | |||
| 55 | |||
| 56 | 6. Maintainers | ||
| 57 | ================ | ||
| 58 | |||
| 59 | (FIXME) | ||
| 60 | Before packaging a new release based on a new source tarball, you have to | ||
| 61 | update the version number in the Makefile: | ||
| 62 | |||
| 63 | VER = [VERSION] | ||
| 64 | |||
| 65 | Make sure that the defined version corresponds to the font software metadata | ||
| 66 | which you can check with ftinfo/otfinfo or fontforge itself. It is highly recommended that file 'ChangeLog' is updated to reflect | ||
| 67 | changes. | ||
| 68 | |||
| 69 | Create a tarball with the following command: | ||
| 70 | $ make dist | ||
| 71 | |||
| 72 | The new versionned tarball will be available in the dist/ folder as | ||
| 73 | 'liberation-fonts-[NEW_VERSION].tar.gz'. | ||
| 74 | (FIXME) | ||
| 75 | |||
