# Subsetting DejaVu fonts to create a display-math-only font

# The DejaVu fonts include math display variants outside of the unicode range,
# and it is currently hard to access them from matploltib. The subset.py script
# in `tools` has been modified to move the math display variants found in DejaVu
# fonts into a new TTF font with these variants in the unicode range.

# This bash script calls the subset.py scripts with the appropriate options to
# generate the new font files `DejaVuSansDisplay.ttf` and
# `DejaVuSerifDisplay.ttf`:

mpldir=$(dirname $0)/../

# test that fontforge is installed
python -c 'import fontforge' 2> /dev/null
