MetaBrush: if METAFONT had a GUI

MetaBrush is an application for creating brush-based fonts. It works on the level of brush strokes, unlike most font-editors that work with outline-based fonts.

Installation instructions

cabal run exe:MetaBrush will build and launch the application.

You will need certain C libraries to be installed on your system and recognised by pkg-config. See the Install guide for more information, or use the provided shell.nix Nix file (NB: not necessarily up-to-date).

Tips and tricks

Change UI size

To increase or decrease the size of the UI, set the GDK_SCALE environment variable. The current default is setenv GDK_SCALE=2.

Theming

You can customise the theme by editing theme.css.
There isn't (yet) a way to switch between themes in the UI; you will need to relaunch the application for changes to take effect.
