+# FONT COMPILES

+#
+# Recommended usage:
+#
+#     The following targets build *.ttf, *.woff, *.woff2 (including *.woff and *.woff2 subsets):
+#
+#       `make` - builds fonts with pinned build dependency versions of all Python and local, compiled C/C++ projects
+#       `make build-system` - builds fonts with system PATH installed versions of build dependencies
+#
+#    Dependency installs for default builds with `make` can be executed with:
+#
+#      1) pip3 install pipenv
+#      2) make compile-local-dep
+#
+#    Optional dependency install for `make` if your development system does not support the defined Python interpreter version:
+#
+#      3) curl -L https://github.com/pyenv/pyenv-installer/raw/master/bin/pyenv-installer | bash
+#
