Note

When will V7 become stable?

It is almost stable now.

As a side project during my weekends, I will release a new beta version to fix the bugs reported or encountered in my daily coding within 1-2 weeks, and do some work on the new website and build tools.

If everything goes well, the stable version will be released later this year.

Build

clone the repo and run in your local machine. Make sure you have python3 and pip installed

git clone https://github.com/subframe7536/maple-font --depth 1 -b variable
pip install foundrytools-cli
python build.py

• for Ubuntu or Debian, maybe python-is-python3 is needed as well

If you have trouble to install the dependencies, just create a new Github codespace on variable branch and run the commands there

Customize

You can change build config in config.json

• There is --normal option in build.py for common config, just like Jetbrains Mono (with slashed zero)
• For custom font-patcher args, font-forge (and maybe python3-fontforge as well) is needed

Chinses version

1. Download CN base font at Gitee release
2. put them into ./source/cn
3. run build.py and BE PATIENT, instantiation will take about 30 minutes

Release Build

python build.py --release
