How to generate KaTeX fonts and metrics
Originally based on MathJax font generation
Fonts
The buildFonts.sh script should do everything automatically,
as long as Docker is installed.
If you want to try out a change
to the katex-fonts repository,
create a local clone (or download and unpack the ZIP file)
and specify the path to this directory as an argument to buildFonts.sh.
You can also specify a local or remote tarball,
e.g. a GitHub download of your own personal feature branch.
The script buildFonts.sh automatically creates Docker images
from the supplied Dockerfile.
It uses the hash of the file to tag the image, so a change to the file
will result in the creation of a new image.
If you want to see all created images, run docker images katex/fonts.
To remove all generated images, you can run
docker rmi $(docker images --format '{{.Repository}}:{{.Tag}}' katex/fonts).
Metrics
The script buildMetrics.sh generates metrics
(dimensions of each character) for the generated fonts.
See detailed requirements for running this script.
If there is a problem, file a bug report.
