Requirements

1. Please install autotrace
2. Please install fontcustom

Quick Start

$ git clone https://github.com/sellside/fontastic.git
$ cd fontastic
$ npm i
$ bower i
$ npm start

Edit the config.js file to setup the autotrace and fontcustom command lines. Visit http://localhost:3000 and drop your PNG to create the web font.

The autotrace package was removed from Homebrew that Mac users will face some problems of manual installation. The imagetracerjs project is the alternative that can be used in fontastic. imagetracerjs is written in JavaScript which is also the good part of it.

I think we should move the logic that prepares the arguments and calls autotrace and fontcustom to lib folders: (e.g. lib/autotrace.js and lib/fontcustom.js or something like that), then we can test those pieces more easily, use them in the webapp part, and provide a library that can be required in by other libraries.

The following is a list of things that I think will accomplish the above:

• lib folder with autotrace and fontcustom specific code
• index.js will be a Fontastic object that uses the files from the lib folder
• path configuration should be passed to Fontastic and options can be passed to autotrace and fontcustom specific methods.
• workflow should be handled in Fontastic methods.
• routes handle transforming req/res specific properties to arguments passed to Fontastic methods.
