A small script for generating PDFs for my guitar TAB book for
|
|
my album "Sources of Light".
|
|
|
|
The book was printed through bookbaby.com in November 2024.
|
|
|
|
HTML files are in `pages/`. All the dimensions are set up properly
|
|
in the CSS at 9.25in x 12.25in. This is for a "Large Portrait" size
|
|
book that is 9x12. BookBaby requires an extra .25" of margin.
|
|
|
|
The rest of the book was assembled elsewhere.
|
|
|
|
To generate PDFs:
|
|
|
|
1. `npm install`
|
|
2. `mkdir -p rendered`
|
|
3. `node index.mjs`
|
|
|
|
Note that the fonts "Schibsted Grotesk" and "Sometype Mono" must be installed
|
|
on the system.
|
|
|
|
Also note that this uses Firefox instead of Chrome to generate the PDFs.
|
|
Chrome seems to embed the fonts as Type 3 fonts, which are bad for printing.
|
|
Firefox seems to embed them as TrueType or Type 1C, which are better.
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
$ node index.mjs
