The dependencies of fonttools are much lighter than fontforge, and since all we need are some metrics, fonttools is very much up to that task. This addresses issue #288.

### How to generate new metrics
|
|
-------------------------------
|
|
|
|
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
|
|
(possibly using the `cpan` command line tool) or with your package manager.
|
|
|
|
- You need the python module fonttools. You can install this either from PyPi
|
|
(using `easy_install` or `pip`) or with your package manager.
|
|
|
|
Once you have these things, run
|
|
|
|
make metrics
|
|
|
|
which should generate new metrics and place them into `fontMetricsData.json`.
|
|
You're done!
