# Mekorot
A Hebrew typeface in the Rashi style. Originally this project was part of an attempt to create a free version of the Hebrew Talmud, as PDF files, while keeping the page layout known as Tzurat Hadaf.

This project has been adapted from a previous [SourceForge archive](https://sourceforge.net/projects/mekorot/), based on the [original work by Dr. Alan Hoenig](https://ctan.org/tex-archive/language/hebrew/makor/).

In 2023 this project was reengineered and redrawn by Eli Heuer for inclusion in the Google Fonts catalog. The Latin typeface included is a fork of [Spectral](https://fonts.google.com/specimen/Spectral).

# Building

Fonts are built automatically by GitHub Actions - take a look in the "Actions" tab for the latest build.

If you want to build fonts manually on your own computer:

* `make build` will produce font files.
* `make test` will run [FontBakery](https://github.com/googlefonts/fontbakery)'s quality assurance tests.
* `make proof` will generate HTML proof files.

The proof files and QA tests are also available automatically via GitHub Actions.
