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 likekpathsea version 6.2.0
-
You need the JSON module for perl. You can install this either from CPAN (possibly using the
cpan
command line tool) or with your package manager. -
You need the python module fonttools. You can install this either from PyPi (using
easy_install
orpip
) or with 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!
