Ubuntu 10.04\n  supplies most of what is needed with its texlive-latex-base,\n  texlive-latex-extra, texlive-xetex, texlive-fonts-extra,\n  texlive-latex-recommended and texlive-font-utils packages.\n* Adobe's fonts and B\u0026H Luxi Sans. To get those, install\n  ttf-xfree86-nonfree (and uninstall t1-xfree86-nonfree) and\n  Acrobat Reader then copy *.otf from\n  /opt/Adobe/Reader9/Resource/Font/ to ~/.fonts/\n* Run 'sudo fc-cache -f -v' to rebuild the cache in case the fonts\n  are not found.\n\nThe book is produced from src/*.pod chapters ultimately rendered into\ndist/*.pdf using bin/* and lib/* files.\n\nJust type 'make' on your command line, and the book should be built in\ndist/UsingRaku.a4.pdf, with an A4 paper size; to get U.S. letter\nsize, type 'make PAPER=letter'. To get any PAPER width and height type\n'make PAPER=6.125in,9.25in'; accepted length units are pt, in, cm and mm.\n\nPDF versions of this book can be found at \nhttp://puffin.ch/perl/6/ and http://github.com/raku/book/downloads\n\nAll material in this repository is licensed under a CC-by-nc-sa\nlicense: \u003chttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/2.5/\u003e\n(attribution, noncommercial, share-alike), unless explicitly stated\notherwise.\n\n(Maybe we'll open up towards removing the noncommercial part at some\npoint).\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fraku%2Fbook","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fraku%2Fbook","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fraku%2Fbook/lists"}
