## About

VFIT (Variable Font Instancing Tool) allows you to generate custom, static
instances of a variable font defined in a configuration file.

## Installation

VFIT is now available on the Python Package Index. You can install VFIT with
the following command:

```sh
$ pip3 install vfit
```

Alternatively, you can install VFIT by downloading a pre-built wheel from the
Releases section or by building it yourself.

``` sh
# Skip this step if you're downloading a prebuilt wheel.
$ git clone https://github.com/jonpalmisc/vfit.git && cd vfit
$ poetry build && cd dist

# Install VFIT from the wheel.
$ pip install vfit-version-py3-none-any.whl
```

## Usage

To begin, you will need a variable font file to work with. Your first step will
be creating a configuration file. See `sample.json` for an example.

Next, run VFIT and pass your configuration and variable font file as arguments:

``` sh
$ vfit config.json variable.ttf
```

If you would like to generate instances into a specific directory, you can use
the `-o` option. For more options, see `vfit --help`.

## Contributing

All contributions are welcome. If you find a bug or have a request for a
feature, feel free to create a new issue (or even better, a pull request).

If you are submitting a pull request, please format your code with `yapf` using
the default settings. Additionally, I am aware that camelCase naming is against
the convention for Python, but it is the convention used by `fonttools`, so I
have chosen to use it here as well for consistency.

## Credits

Special thanks to [Viktor Rubenko](https://github.com/ViktorRubenko), who knows
way more about font technology than I do and has been incredibly helpful in
fixing strange bugs.

The VFIT logo uses [NewGlyph](https://beta.newglyph.com/)'s
[Armada](https://beta.newglyph.com/discovery-collection/#font-armada) variable
font.
