How to Build

Dependencies

Note:

  • Choose 64-bit version if possible. 32-bit version may lead to out-of-memory issue.

Build Feature Variant

Prepare submodules:

git submodule update --init --recursive

Run configure.py to generate Makefile:

python configure.py

Put Source Han Sans OTF files (all families but HW) and Subset OTF files (if you need GB variant) to source/shs/

Then make a specific variant:

make <region>,<features>-<weight> -j<threads>

Note: Features must be sorted alphabetically. (OSF, RP, SC).

e.g.

make CN,OSF,RP-400 -j4

The output is out/NowarNeoSans-<region>,<features>-<weight>-<version>.7z.

Create Regional Variant

To build exactly what you need, modify configure.py:

class Config:
    # put your variant here
    fontPackRegion = [ <your_region> ]

# define the variant here.
regionalVariant = { ... }

For example, the “CNmulti” multi-orthography variant,

European 简体中文 繁體中文 한국어
CNmulti Mainland China (UI) Mainland China Taiwan S. Korea (UI)
class Config:
    fontPackRegion = [ "CNmulti" ]

regionalVariant = {
    "CNmulti": {
        "base": "CN",
        "enUS": True,
        "ruRU": True,
        "zhCN": "CN",
        "zhTW": "TW",
        "koKR": "KR",
    }
}

Then, run python configure.py to generate Makefile. The new regional variant (with optional feature) can be built by:

make <region>,<features>-<weight> -j<threads>

e.g.

make CNmulti-400 -j4
make CNmulti,OSF-400 -j4
