# fontpatcher
How to use:
1. Enter the directory where the font file lives you wish to patch.
2. Run:
$ docker run --rm -it \
-v $(pwd):/workdir \
--workdir /workdir \
r.j3ss.co/fontpatcher myfontfile.otf
3. You should have a `myfontfile-Powerline.otf` as an artifact.
4. Copy the font file into ``~/.fonts`` (or another X font directory)::
$ cp MyFontFile-Powerline.otf ~/.fonts
**Note:** If the font is a pure bitmap font (e.g. a PCF font) it will be
stored in the BDF format. This is usually not a problem, and you may
convert the font back to the PCF format using ``bdftopcf`` if you want
to. All other fonts will be stored in the OTF format regardless of the
original format.
5. Update your font cache::
$ sudo fc-cache -vf
**Note:** If you use vim in rxvt-unicode in the client/daemon mode, you
may need to close all running terminals as well for the font to be
updated.
