# TruFont

TruFont is a font-editing application written with Python3, ufoLib, defcon and PyQt.

Dependencies:

- Python 3
- PyQt5
- [fontTools]
- [robofab, python3-ufo3 branch]
- [defcon, python3-ufo3 branch]

Optional:

- [ufo2fdk, python3-ufo3 branch]

Run:

`cd Lib && python -m defconQt`

Install notes:

- On OSX, it is highly recommended to install all dependencies with [Homebrew]
  in order to have a correct Qt namespace (`brew` handles it all by itself).  
  Finish with `brew linkapps python3` to be able to call `python3` from the
  Terminal.
- You can have multiple versions of Python on your system, then you just need to
  use a version prefix, e.g.:
  * `python3`
  * `python3.4`
  * `python3.5`
  * …
