# For contributors to the cheatsheets

## How to compile

1. You need to create a `fonts` repository with:

* `fonts/roboto/*`           : See https://fonts.google.com/specimen/Roboto

                                or https://github.com/googlefonts/roboto/tree/master/src/hinted

* `fonts/roboto-slab/*`      : See https://fonts.google.com/specimen/Roboto+Slab

                                or https://github.com/googlefonts/robotoslab/tree/master/fonts/static

* `fonts/source-code-pro/*`  : See https://fonts.google.com/specimen/Source+Code+Pro

                                or https://github.com/adobe-fonts/source-code-pro/tree/release/OTF

* `fonts/source-sans-pro/*`  : See https://fonts.google.com/specimen/Source+Sans+Pro

                                or https://github.com/adobe-fonts/source-sans-pro/tree/release/OTF

* `fonts/source-serif-pro/*` : See https://fonts.google.com/specimen/Source+Serif+Pro

                                or https://github.com/adobe-fonts/source-serif-pro/tree/release/OTF

* `fonts/eb-garamond/*`      : See https://bitbucket.org/georgd/eb-garamond/src/master

* `fonts/pacifico/*`         : See https://fonts.google.com/download?family=Pacifico

On Linux, with `make` installed, the fonts can be set up with the following command:

```shell

make -C fonts

```

The fonts can be made discoverable by `matplotlib` (through `fontconfig`) by creating the following in `$HOME/.config/fontconfig/fonts.conf` (see [here](https://www.freedesktop.org/software/fontconfig/fontconfig-user.html)):

```xml

/path/to/cheatsheets/fonts/

...

```

2. You need to generate all the figures:

```

$ cd scripts

$ for script in *.py; do python $script; done

$ cd ..

```

3. Compile the sheet

```

$ xelatex cheatsheets.tex

$ xelatex cheatsheets.tex

```
