A (hinted!) version of Source Han Sans

Ideohint Template for Source Han Sans

This is a template for using Caryll Ideohint to build Source Han Sans' TTF version. The template contains:

• The full set of Source Han Sans in OTF.
• The corresponded parameters for hinting.
• MAKEFILE and corresponded support files.

To run this build you need...

• Node.js:
  • Download it here: https://nodejs.org/en/
  • The installer will make it visible so don’t worry about PATH.
• GNU make.
• TTFAutohint:
  • Download it here: https://www.freetype.org/ttfautohint/
  • Make it visible in your PATH.
    • If you already made a folder into PATH and put make into it, then put ttfautohint into the same directory would work. No need to set the environment variable again, because you already did that.
• otfcc.
  • Download it here: https://github.com/caryll/otfcc
  • Make them (yes, there are two executables) visible in your PATH.
• CPU. A LOT. (It takes me about 30 hours to build on a 16-core server. Really.)

To run the hinting:

• Open your Terminal or PowerShell.
• cd into the directory containing this README.
• Type: npm install.
• Type: node top.
• Follow its instructions.
  • Once you decide to perform hinting, the results would be in the out/ directory.
