8## Install from release
9
10 1. Grab the latest release from the
11[releases](https://github.com/NerdyPepper/scientifica/releases)
12page.
13
14 2. Extract the release package:
15```shell
16tar xzf scientifica-v1.2.tar.gz
17```
18
193. You may install either the `ttf`s or the `otb`s or the
20`bdf`s
21```shell
22# ttfs are recommended
23cp ttf/* ~/.local/share/fonts/
24
25# but you may install the otbs if you want to
26cp otb/* ~/.local/share/fonts
27
28# bdfs are not recommendedk
29cp bdf/* ~/.local/share/fonts
30```
31
32## Build from source
33
34Requirements:
35
36 - java
37 - [BitsNPicas](https://github.com/kreativekorp/bitsnpicas)
38 - [fontforge](https://fontforge.org)
39 - python3
40
41On Debian based distros, you can install all requirements
42via:
43```
44sudo apt install openjdk-8-jdk openjdk-8-jre python3 fontforge
45curl -o BitsNPicas.jar "https://github.com/kreativekorp/bitsnpicas/blob/master/downloads/BitsNPicas.jar"
46```
47
481. Open `build.sh` and change variable `BNP` to the full
49 path to the BitsNPicas `jar` file.
50```shell
51# for example.:
52export BNP="/home/nerdypepper/downloads/BitsNPicas.jar"
53```
54
552. Run `build.sh`
563. If everything went well, you will find the generated font
57 files under the `build` folder.
584. Continue with step 3 of "Install from release"
59
60## Verification
61
62Check if your installation procedure was a success:
63
64 1. Run `fc-list | grep sci`
65 2. If the output is **not** null, congrats!
66 3. Proceed to [Troubleshooting](#troubleshooting) if the output is empty
67
68## Troubleshooting
69
70 If your application does not recognize the font, you can
71try a couple of things:
72
73 - use `ttf` variant instead of the `otb` or `bdf`
74 variants
75 - run `fc-cache --really-force -v` and verify again
76 - open an issue, I'd love to help you out!

13## What's different? 17## What's new?
14 18
19 - Scaleable `ttf` format
20 - Raster formats: `otb` and `bdf`
21 - **Bold** and *Italic* variants
22 - New Characters to the following unicode blocks:
23 * Geometric Shapes
24 * Arrows
25 * Miscellaneous Technical
26 * Miscellaneous Symbols
27 * Miscellaneous Mathematical Symbols-A
28 * Private Use Area (Powerline symbols)
29 * Mathematical Operators
30 * Box Drawings
15 31
16Scientifica has a **bold** and an **italic** variant. 32 - Revamped characters: `V, *, f, W, M, ~, & , i, t, a, (), [], {}`
17 33
18Here are a few characters that recieved a revamp: 34## Gallery

86 ```shell
87 cd /etc/fonts/conf.d/
88 sudo rm /etc/fonts/conf.d/10* && sudo rm -rf 70-no-bitmaps.conf && sudo ln -s ../conf.avail/70-yes-bitmaps.conf
89 sudo dpkg-reconfigure fontconfig
90 ```
91
92 2. Get Scientifica
93 ```shell
94 cd ~
95 git clone https://github.com/nerdypepper/scientifica --depth 1
96 ```
97
98 3. Symlink it to the right folder
99 ```shell
100ln -fs ~/scientifica/regular/scientifica-11.bdf ~/.local/share/fonts/scientifica-11.bdf
101ln -fs ~/scientifica/bold/scientificaBold-11.bdf ~/.local/share/fonts/scientificaBold-11.bdf
102 ```
103
104 4. Use it. `rxvt` for example:
105
106 ``` ini
107URxvt.font:xft:scientifica:size=11
108URxvt.font:xft:scientifica:size=22 !for the doubled variant
109 ```

133
134 - Add Control Pictures
135 - ~~Add all mathematical operators~~ (Almost) Done!
136 - ~~Get scientifica to work on windows~~ Done!
137 - ~~Work on a bold version (Probably never)~~ Done!
138 - Add variants for `a, i, l, 1` etc.
