Description
-----------
A set of modified [artwiz fonts][] ([original site][]) based on [artwiz-aleczapka][] and [artwiz-latin1][], with:
* Full [ISO/IEC 8859-1][] support (German, Portuguese, Swedish etc. characters; equivalent to the [Basic Latin][] and
[Latin-1 Supplement][] blocks of [Unicode][])
* Glyph names matching standard Unicode character names,
* A bold variant of each font. (based on artwiz-latin1's bold fonts, but with some fixes; most notably, font bounding
box corrections)

Prerequisites
-------------
For OTF output:
- [Fontforge](https://fontforge.org/en-US/)
For PCF (legacy) output:
- [bdftopcf](https://www.x.org/releases/X11R7.7/doc/man/man1/bdftopcf.1.xhtml)
Building
--------
Building is rather straightforward:
```bash
make
```
This will create a `build` directory, and create generated `.pcf` and `.otf` files there.
You can opt to only generate either `.pcf` or `.otf` files by running `make pcf` or `make otf`.
If you wish to clean up the build output, you can run `make clean`.
Installation
------------
You have two options for installation: either installing the fonts system-wide (the default) or installing them in your home directory. (which doesn't require `root` access)
### System-wide installation
```bash
sudo make install
```
This will install the fonts to `/usr/share/fonts/artwiz-fonts-wl`, and create the Xorg config file
`/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/40-x-fonts.conf` to enable them. It will also run `fc-cache` to update the system fontconfig cache.
You may specify values for the `DESTDIR`, `SYSCONFDIR`, `PREFIX`, `FONTDIR`, or `TARGET` variables after `make` in order to override the default paths.
(defaults: `DESTDIR=/`, `SYSCONFDIR=/etc`, `PREFIX=/usr`, `FONTDIR=$(PREFIX)/share/fonts`, `TARGET=$(FONTDIR)/artwiz-fonts-wl`)
You can also opt to only install either `.pcf` or `.otf` fonts using `sudo make install-pcf` or `sudo make install-otf`.
### Home directory installation
Currently, only the OTF variant can be installed in your home directory.
```bash
make install-user
```
This will install the `.otf` fonts into `~/.fonts/artwiz-fonts-wl/`, and then regenerate the fontconfig cache for the current user.
### Fontconfig configuration
If you use Ubuntu or another distro that disables bitmap fonts in fontconfig by default, you'll have to re-enable them:
```bash
rm /etc/fonts/conf.d/30-debconf-no-bitmaps.conf
```
On Arch Linux, this file is named `/etc/fonts/conf.d/70-no-bitmaps.conf`, and the file
`/etc/fonts/conf.avail/70-yes-bitmaps.conf` should be linked in its place:
```bash
rm /etc/fonts/conf.d/70-no-bitmaps.conf
ln -s /etc/fonts/conf.avail/70-yes-bitmaps.conf /etc/fonts/conf.d/
```
Testing Without Installation
----------------------------
Do the following:
* Update the fontconfig cache:
fc-cache -fv /PATH/TO/artwiz-fonts-wl
* Create a new file `/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/40-x-fonts.conf` with the contents:
Section "Files"
FontPath "/PATH/TO/artwiz-fonts-wl"
EndSection
* Add this to your fontconfig config file (eg. `/etc/fonts/local.conf`):
/PATH/TO/artwiz-fonts-wl:unscaled
* If you use Ubuntu or another distro that disables bitmap fonts in fontconfig by default:
rm /etc/fonts/conf.d/30-debconf-no-bitmaps.conf
On Arch Linux, this file is named `/etc/fonts/conf.d/70-no-bitmaps.conf`, and the file
`/etc/fonts/conf.avail/70-yes-bitmaps.conf` should be linked in its place:
rm /etc/fonts/conf.d/70-no-bitmaps.conf
ln -s /etc/fonts/conf.avail/70-yes-bitmaps.conf /etc/fonts/conf.d/
* Either restart X, or run:
xset +fp /PATH/TO/artwiz-fonts-wl
* Test it:
xlsfonts | grep drift
fc-list | grep drift
NOTE: Your installation may vary depending on your distro.
GTK Menus
---------
You might want to use these fonts in GTK 2.x apps menus and other widgets.
([screenshot](http://artwiz-latin1.sourceforge.net/screenshots/snap-gtk.png))
Edit `~/.gtkrc.mine`, and add:
```
gtk-font-name = "snap 10"
```
and ensure that `~/.gtkrc-2.0` contains:
```
include "/home/your_home/.gtkrc.mine"
```
(`your_home` is just an example)
