## pkg-fonts-libertinus

_Unofficial_ [Debian](http://www.debian.org) packaging for
[Libertinus](https://github.com/libertinus-fonts/libertinus/) fonts

### About

This repository provides a simple way to create a .deb package with
OTF files for [Libertinus](https://github.com/libertinus-fonts/libertinus/)

### Example

Here is a simple screenshot showing a math font demo and the Emacs font selector:

### Installation

After cloning the repository run

```
dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot -us -uc -tc
```

to create a Debian binary using the common _fakeroot_ suid accessor, without
signing changes or control file as we are not uploading anywhere, and
cleaning up. More easily, just run

```
./runMe.sh
```

and either one of these two will create a `.deb` package containing the
desired fonts.

### Status

This is a somewhat ad-hoc package for personal use which I am not even
putting onto my [PPA](https://launchpad.net/~edd/+archive/ubuntu/misc).
It takes a shortcut in packaging / building as the actual fonts are
downloaded rather than made from their sources. That is not exactly how
Debian does things; some discussion (for a different font) is at
[this bug report](https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=736681).

Updated versions are available at [Libertinus](https://github.com/libertinus-fonts/libertinus/)
but have not been packaged here since the initial build.
