If you do not run Windows, a build script for [AppVeyor](https://www.appveyor.com/) is also included. AppVeyor can build the Setup.exe installer automatically each time that you push to your repository.\n\n## Why this project exists\n\nFSCW includes all best practices for font installation on Windows that we have learned while creating the [Windows installer](https://github.com/source-foundry/Hack-windows-installer) for the [Hack typeface](https://github.com/source-foundry/Hack). \n\nAlthough it might seem like overkill to use a Windows installer for fonts, there is good reason for this on the Windows platform. A number of things can go wrong when one tries to install or update frequently updated fonts manually (see [issue #152](https://github.com/source-foundry/Hack/issues/152) and [issue #129](https://github.com/source-foundry/Hack/issues/129) in the [Hack repository](https://github.com/source-foundry/Hack/)).\n\n## Setup experience for end users\n\n- User downloads `(SetupExe)` from your repository and double clicks it. \n- User sees a *Windows protected your PC* message ([Screenshot](https://github.com/source-foundry/FSCW/raw/master/img/screenshot-smartscreen.png)).: Needs to click on `More info` and then `Run anyway`. \n- **Note:** This *Windows SmartScreen warning* can be safely ignored as it is caused only by the fact that the EXE is not digitally signed. You may want to upload the EXE file to [VirusTotal](http://www.virustotal.com) and link to the report from your repository. \n- User is asked if the font(s) should be installed ([Screenshot](https://github.com/source-foundry/FSCW/raw/master/img/screenshot-install.png)).\n- User is asked to to perform a restart ([Screenshot](https://github.com/source-foundry/FSCW/raw/master/img/screenshot-restart.png)).\n- Installed font(s) can be used.\n\nTo uninstall, the user goes to the *Add/Remove Programs* applet in Control Panel, selects the entry and clicks on *Uninstall* ([Screenshot](https://github.com/source-foundry/FSCW/raw/master/img/screenshot-uninstall.png)).\n\n## How to use it\n\n- Clone this repository\n- Delete the test fonts and exchange them for your your own `*.TTF` files (in `/fonts`)\n- Update the other files as you see fit (e.g. `License.txt`, icon file etc.)\n- Update `src/DATA.ini` to match your own data (Name, copyright etc.)  \n- **NOTE** Please always remember to update `UniqueID` in `src/DATA.ini`\n\n\n## Building on Windows\n\n- Perform the steps described in [How to use it](#how-to-use-it) \n- Download [Inno Setup](http://www.jrsoftware.org/isinfo.php)\n- Please make sure the option \"Inno Setup Prepocessor\" is activated during install\n- Open `src\\FSCW.iss`\n- Select *Build* - *Compile* (CTRL+F9)\n- Retrieve your `(SetupExe)` from the `\\out` folder\n\n## Building using AppVeyor\n\n[AppVeyor](https://www.appveyor.com/) is a continuous integration (CI) service that provides a Windows based environment and can be freely used for open source projects. You can use it to build `(SetupExe)` if you do not have regular access to a Windows installation.  \n\n- Perform the steps described in [How to use it](#how-to-use-it) so you have a working script that AppVeyor can execute\n- Create an account at [AppVeyor](https://www.appveyor.com/) (You can login using your GitHub account)\n- Click on the *PROJECTS* tab\n- Click *NEW PROJECT*\n- Select your repository and click *Add* \n- Push to your repository and AppVeyor will create the setup EXE for you automatically (might take some minutes)\n- You can download the `(SetupExe)` file by selecting your project, clicking on *LATEST BUILD* and selecting *ARTIFACTS* \n\nYou can also change [appveyor.yml](https://github.com/source-foundry/FSCW/blob/master/appveyor.yml) so the resulting `(SetupExe)` is added as a new release to you repository. The command for this is only commented out, but requires a GitHub token. Please use *Encrypt data* in the account menu within AppVeyor.com to encrypt your token!   \n\n## Contributions \n\nAny constructive contribution is very welcome, regarless if it's an [issue](https://github.com/source-foundry/FSCW/issues/new) or a [pull request](https://help.github.com/articles/using-pull-requests/).\n\nIf users of the setup experience any difficulties, please open a new [issue](https://github.com/source-foundry/FSCW/issues/new) and include the log file FSCW generates. This log file can be found in C:\\Program Files\\\\`(DestinationFolder)`\\\\*Log-FSCW.txt*.
