Lagrange fontpacks for MB Type Fonts

I wanted to use fonts from MB Type in Lagrange. Because I wanted better reproducibility than what I’d get from just relying on my shell’s history, I made a Makefile to capture the process, automate cleaning, and make it easier to make more than one fontpack.

Simply dig out your MB Type .otf font files for your favorite MB Type fonts, put them in the corresponding directory, and then run make at the command line to generate the .fontpack files. Then drag the .fontpack files onto your Lagrange window to install them.

Obvious questions

Where are the fonts?

They’re not free, so you’ll have to buy them on https://mbtype.com/. You can buy them one at a time or get the pile in one fell swoop.

OK, I bought some of the fonts. He gave me a lot of files. What do I do with them?

You’ll want to gather up the OTF fonts in the + OT Family directory. Once you’ve located the .otf files for the fonts you want, copy the .otf files to the directory with the all-lower-cased font’s name, so the .otf files are alongside the fontpack.ini files.

Only a few of the fonts have directories. Where are the others?

I haven’t gotten around to adding them yet.
