Martin von Gagern 1603162267 Save auto-generated font metrics data to separate JSON file 
This separates auto-generated code from manually created code.
We need a more recent version of browserify to directly require JSON.
Note that the data was copied, not recreated, so it has not been changed.
This addresses issue #301.

How to generate new metrics

There are several requirements for generating the metrics used by KaTeX.

  • You need to have an installation of TeX which supports kpathsea. You can check this by running tex --version, and seeing if it has a line that looks like

    kpathsea version 6.2.0

  • You need the JSON module for perl. You can install this either from CPAN or with your package manager.

  • You need the python fontforge module. This is probably either installed with fontforge or can be installed from your package manager.

Once you have these things, run

make metrics

which should generate new metrics and place them into fontMetricsData.json. You're done!
