There will be a browser-based tool for custom build.
Also, in v7, the minimal dependency is foundrytools-cli
. I don't think it's too hard to install it.
Installing it is not hard, but in bare ubuntu it is not working
Is there any error log?
Yeap, sure. Here it is
What are the exact steps to do this in a fresh ubuntu?
hmm... I recommend to create a codespace on variable branch and build the font in it

In my Debian on WSL, there is no extra step
I'm pretty sure you need to install python and pip at least
In codespace:
pip install foundrytools-cli
python build.py
That's all
Figured out what was missing, it's the python-is-python3
package
So basically, these are the required apt packages python3
python-is-python3
fontforge
python3-fontforge
Thanks. Docs updated
Also, if one wants to use docker for this, the param --platform=linux/x86_64
should be included on ARM Macs, otherwise linux/arm64
is chosen and some packages won't compile on it
i use this:
FROM python
WORKDIR /app
COPY . .
RUN apt update && apt upgrade -y && apt install fontforge -y && pip install foundrytools-cli
CMD ["python", "build.py"]
Currently it's hard to build the font. I've tried both on mac and linux without any success. Would be great to have a docker build.
