%general-entities; ]> $LastChangedBy$ $Date$ Graphite2 Graphite2 is a rendering engine for graphite fonts. These are TrueType fonts with additional tables containing smart rendering information and were originally developed to support complex non-Roman writing systems. They may contain rules for e.g. ligatures, glyph substitution, kerning, justification - this can make them useful even on text written in Roman writing systems such as English. Note that firefox by default provides an internal copy of the graphite engine and cannot use a system version (although it can now be patched to use it), but it too should benefit from the availability of graphite fonts. &lfs83_checked; Package Information Download (HTTP): Download (FTP): Download MD5 sum: &graphite2-md5sum; Download size: &graphite2-size; Estimated disk space required: &graphite2-buildsize; Estimated build time: &graphite2-time; Graphite2 Dependencies Required Optional , , and silgraphite to build the comparerender test and benchmarking tool, and if that is present, to add more functionality to it (this is a circular dependency, you would need to first build graphite2 without harfbuzz). To build the documentation: , , (or ), and dblatex (for PDF docs) To execute the test suite you will need FontTools (Python 2 module), otherwise, the "cmp" tests fail. Optional (at runtime) You will need at least one suitable graphite font for the package to be useful. User Notes: Some tests fail if FontTools (Python 2 module) is not installed. These tests can be removed with: sed -i '/cmptest/d' tests/CMakeLists.txt Install Graphite2 by running the following commands: mkdir build && cd build && cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr .. && make If you wish to build the documentation, issue: make docs To test the results, issue: make test. Now, as the root user: make install If you built the documentation, install, as the root user: install -v -d -m755 /usr/share/doc/graphite2-&graphite2-version; && cp -v -f doc/{GTF,manual}.html \ /usr/share/doc/graphite2-&graphite2-version; && cp -v -f doc/{GTF,manual}.pdf \ /usr/share/doc/graphite2-&graphite2-version; -DCMAKE_VERBOSE_MAKEFILE=ON: This switch turns on build verbose mode.
