Unofficial Debian packaging for IBM Plex fonts
This repository provides a simple way to create a .deb package with TTF and OTF files for Plex
Here is a simple screenshot showing Emacs 25 on (an earlier version of) this README.md, along with the 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.
