Hi Jon, so I just pushed a few things to SVN.
Here is what I pushed (it's all in the commit message, but I'm adding
it here anyway):
- I noticed that the font being requested by the epub build was called
"Calibiri", and that the fonts were located in some special directory
that was *not* included in the SVN repo. Two problems with this: 1)
the font is named Calibri (two i's, not three) and 2) the build
breaks on local machines unless you have the fonts located in the
correct path (in other words, external dependency). Furthermore,
since the font was misnamed in the build scripts, the font never
actually gets included in the build, making any effort to resolve the
font path moot.
So what I did was this:
1. changed the font path to an internal font path (trunk/common/font/)
2. bundled an open source clone of Calibri called Carlito into SVN (I
included the license, as well, so there is documentation that the
font is open source and free to bundle)
3. s/Calibiri/Carlito/ in all CSS files
It is my intent that nothing should be negatively affected by this
change, and in fact that future contributors won't have to think about
how to resolve font errors, because we are bundling the font with the
build.
- A new Highway Holocaust cover art based on an illustration from
within the book. The design is just something I threw together; it's
a little different from the Lone Wolf style, but then again this is a
different universe entirely. If people hate it, I'm happy to base it
on the Lone Wolf template.
