# Installation
- [Enable bitmap fonts](#enable-bitmap-fonts)
- [Install from release](#install-from-release)
- [Build from source](#build-from-source)
- [Verification](#verification)
- [Troubleshooting](#troubleshooting)
## Enable bitmap fonts
If you are an Debian/Ubuntu based system, chances are bitmap
fonts are disabled, go ahead and enable them:
```
sudo mv /etc/fonts/conf.d/10-* /etc/fonts/conf.avail/
sudo mv /etc/fonts/conf.d/70-no-bitmaps.conf /etc/fonts/conf.avail/
```
If you would like to disable them for some reason, simply
move the files back back from `/etc/fonts/conf.avail` to
`/etc/fonts/conf.d`.
## Install from release
1. Grab the latest release from the
[releases](https://github.com/NerdyPepper/scientifica/releases)
page.
2. Extract the release package:
```shell
tar xf scientifica-v1.2.tar.gz
```
3. You may install either the `ttf`s or the `otb`s or the
`bdf`s
```shell
# ttfs are recommended
cp ttf/* ~/.local/share/fonts/
# but you may install the otbs if you want to
cp otb/* ~/.local/share/fonts
# bdfs are not recommended
cp bdf/* ~/.local/share/fonts
```
## Build from source
Requirements:
- java
- [BitsNPicas](https://github.com/kreativekorp/bitsnpicas)
- [fontforge](https://fontforge.org)
- python3
On Debian based distros, you can install all requirements
via:
```
sudo apt install openjdk-8-jdk openjdk-8-jre python3 fontforge
curl -o BitsNPicas.jar "https://github.com/kreativekorp/bitsnpicas/blob/master/downloads/BitsNPicas.jar"
```
1. Set an environment variable `BNP` to the path of
`BitsNPicas.jar`, defaults to the current directory if
unset
```shell
# for example:
user@host$ BNP="/home/nerdypepper/BitsNPicas.jar" ./build.sh
```
2. If everything went well, you will find the generated font
files under the `build` folder.
3. Continue with step 3 of "Install from release"
## Verification
Check if your installation procedure was a success:
1. Run `fc-list | grep scientifica`
2. If the output is **not** null, congrats!
3. Proceed to [Troubleshooting](#troubleshooting) if the output is empty
## Troubleshooting
If your application does not recognize the font, you can
try a couple of things:
- use `ttf` variant instead of the `otb` or `bdf`
variants
- run `fc-cache --really-force -v` and verify again
- open an issue, I'd love to help you out!
