Emily Eisenberg 79ab06d88d Get rid of the lookahead-y dots Summary: The `\dots` and `\dots{c,o,b,i,m}` commands do more than just show characters, they add extra space and `\dots` also looks ahead to determine what kind of environment it is in (see [this math.sx post] (http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/122491/difference-of-the-dots)). We can't support that yet, so remove them. Also, add comments to the extract_ttf script to show what caracters we are extracting metrics for. Test Plan: - Make sure tests work Reviewers: alpert Reviewed By: alpert Differential Revision: http://phabricator.khanacademy.org/D13151		2014-09-12 17:29:49 -07:00

There are several requirements for generating the metrics used by KaTeX.

You need to have an installation of TeX which supports kpathsea. You can check this by running tex --version, and seeing if it has a line that looks like

kpathsea version 6.2.0
You need the JSON module for perl. You can install this either from CPAN or with your package manager.
You need the python fontforge module. This is probably either installed with fontforge or can be installed from your package manager.

Once you have these things, run

make metrics

which should generate new metrics and place them into fontMetrics.js. You're done!
