Font Generation Scripts

Generate Gonville fonts

To add a new Gonville glyph to Vexflow, add the glyph code along with SMuFL name to config/valid_codes.json. Then run the following.

$ node gonville_fontgen.js ../../src/fonts/

Generate SMuFL (Bravura) font

To add a new SMuFL glyph to Vexflow, add the SMuFL code with the Gonville backup code to config/valid_codes.json. Then run the following.

# Generate Bravura glyphs for Vexflow
$ node bravura_fontgen.js fonts/Bravura.otf ../../src/fonts/bravura_glyphs.js

# Generate Gonville glyphs for SMuFL code
$ node gonville_fontgen.js ../../src/fonts/

Add Custom Glyph

To add a custom glyph, add it's outline to fonts/custom_glyphs.js and a custom code (with the vex prefix) to config/valid_codes.json. Then run the following.

$ node gonville_fontgen.js ../../src/fonts/

Generate Text Metrics for a Text Font

To create text metrics for your own font, first obtain an open-type font (.otf) version of the font file. Then run:

$ node textmetrics_fontgen.js myFont.otf myFont_textmetrics.json

You can register your metrics using TextFont.registerFont() and the metrics will be available for your module. See the chordsymbol.js module for examples.
