Unofficial Debian packaging for Montserrat fonts
This repository provides a simple way to create a .deb package with OTF files for Montserrat
Here is a simple screenshot showing (an earlier version of) this file and the Emacs font selector:
After cloning the repository run
dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot -us -uc -tc
to create a Debian binary using the common fakeroot suid accessor, without signing changes or control file as we are not uploading anywhere, and cleaning up. More easily, just run
./runMe.sh
and either one of these two will create a .deb package containing the
desired fonts.
This is a somewhat ad-hoc package for personal use which I am not even putting onto my PPA. It takes a shortcut in packaging / building as the actual fonts are downloaded rather than made from their sources. That is not exactly how Debian does things; some discussion (for a different font) is at this bug report.
Updated versions are available at Montserrat but have not been packaged here since the initial build.
My similar repositories for creating packages for Fira, Source Code Pro. Plex, and Libertinus.
