How to compile

1. You need to create a fonts repository with:

2. fonts/roboto/* : See https://fonts.google.com/specimen/Roboto or https://github.com/googlefonts/roboto/tree/master/src/hinted

3. fonts/roboto-slab/* : See https://fonts.google.com/specimen/Roboto+Slab or https://github.com/googlefonts/robotoslab/tree/master/fonts/static
4. fonts/source-code-pro/* : See https://fonts.google.com/specimen/Source+Code+Pro or https://github.com/adobe-fonts/source-code-pro/tree/release/OTF
5. fonts/source-sans-pro/* : See https://fonts.google.com/specimen/Source+Sans+Pro or https://github.com/adobe-fonts/source-sans-pro/tree/release/OTF
6. fonts/source-serif-pro/* : See https://fonts.google.com/specimen/Source+Serif+Pro or https://github.com/adobe-fonts/source-serif-pro/tree/release/OTF
7. fonts/pacifico/* : See https://fonts.google.com/download?family=Pacifico

On Linux, with make installed, the fonts can be set up with the following command:

make -C fonts

The fonts can be made discoverable by matplotlib (through fontconfig) by creating the following in $HOME/.config/fontconfig/fonts.conf (see here):

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE fontconfig SYSTEM "fonts.dtd">
<fontconfig>
<dir>/path/to/cheatsheets/fonts/</dir>
...
</fontconfig>

1. You need to generate all the figures:

$ cd scripts
$ for script in *.py; do python $script; done
$ cd ..

1. Compile the sheet
