The script will export files necessary for AFDKO in those subdirectories. The script will create a new directory called fdk in which subdirectories are created for every font. Building one fontįrom FontLab, run IBM Plex export FDK files.py and choose a directory with IBM Plex. Also, you’ll need to have the Adobe Font Development Kit for OpenType (AFDKO) installed. To run this script you’ll need the RoboFab library. A Python script called IBM Plex export FDK files.py is necessary to export the proper files from FontLab. If you’re importing the SCSS files, you can set the path of the font files beforehand by declaring this variable: $font-prefix: your app, for example, React, can’t import the font because it’s outside the ‘src’ directory, then edit the imported ‘ibm-plex.scss’ file and change the relative path prefix there as follows:īelow are the font-family rules for the family: font-family: 'IBM Plex Mono', 'Menlo', 'DejaVu Sans Mono', 'Bitstream Vera Sans Mono', Courier, monospace įont-family: 'IBM Plex Sans', 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, sans-serif įont-family: 'IBM Plex Sans Condensed', 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, sans-serif įont-family: 'IBM Plex Serif', 'Georgia', Times, serif īuilding the fonts from source Requirements Installation with Node.js®: npm install installing the files for web development can be done by downloading the latest web zip from our releases page.ĭevelopers using the CSS files should keep the directory structure as is, so the font files will be found. However, we recommend using the prescribed split strategy for performance.


The IBM Plex typeface is an open-source project and available for download and use following the Open Font License (OFL). Discover more about our development of the IBM Plex typeface. It took two years and a lot of work to get here, but today we have a signature typeface we’re proud and excited to share with the world. We designed the IBM Plex typeface carefully to both meet our needs as a global tech company and express who we are as IBMers. It’s global, it’s versatile and it’s distinctly IBM.
