Building
====
Pre-built font binaries
----
The installable font resources (font binaries) are not part of the source files. They are available on [Open@Adobe](https://sourceforge.net/projects/csso9ntestfonts.adobe/files/).
Requirements
----
For building binary font files from source, installation of the [Adobe Font Development Kit for OpenType](http://www.adobe.com/devnet/opentype/afdko.html) (AFDKO) is necessary. The AFDKO tools are widely used for font development today, and are part of most font editor applications.
Building the fonts
----
The key to building OpenType fonts is *makeotf*, which is part of AFDKO. Information and usage instructions can be found by executing *makeotf -h*.
In this repository, all necessary files are in place for building the OpenType fonts. For example, build a binary OTF font for the full-width version like this, which also includes a post-process for inserting a "stub" 'DSIG' table:
% makeotf -f cidfont.ps -r -ch UnicodeAll-UTF32-H
% sfntedit -a DSIG=DSIG.bin CSSFWOrientationTest.otf
% sfntedit -f CSSFWOrientationTest.otf
That is all.
