3·
6 months agoI’m not familiar with creating fonts specifically, but you’ll want to commit any resources necessary to recreate the font file, including any build scripts to help ease the process and instructions specifying compatible versions of tooling (FontForge in this case). Don’t include FontForge in the repository, of course.
The compiled font files should be under releases in GitHub for the repository.
Git isn’t generally meant for binary resources but as long as they’re not too large, they’ll be fine. You just may not have meaningful ways to compare changes easily.
Now the question is - are they open sourcing the original Winamp, or the awful replacement?
