Create a Formula

The purpose of a formula is to allow Fontist to determine where to download fonts.

There is a command that can generate a formula by an archive's link:

sh
fontist create-formula https://quoteunquoteapps.com/courierprime/downloads/courier-prime.zip

The result of its execution would be a YAML file. It can be changed with a text editor.

You may need to change it manually when:

  • the script could not detect proper license text
  • you would like to change a name of a formula (may use the --name option)
  • the archive is private (see private-formula-authentication)

The formula can be proposed to be merged to the main repository, or added to a private repository.
