Computer Modern Classic

Computer Modern Classic is an attempt to create a Computer Modern font that

1. is built from Donald Knuth's METAPOST fonts in a reproducible way
2. would pass the checks for being included in the Google Fonts.

One consequence of the first requirement is that the font will have, at least for now, far less characters than other Computer Modern fonts.

About

I'm currently working for Google but this is an independent project.

Building

Fonts are built automatically by GitHub Actions - take a look in the "Actions" tab for the latest build.

If you want to build fonts manually on your own computer:

• make build will produce font files.
• make test will run FontBakery's quality assurance tests.
• make proof will generate HTML proof files.

The proof files and QA tests are also available automatically via GitHub Actions - look at https://razvanm.github.io/computer-modern-classic.
