How to contribute

PRs are welcome :) This library uses static map of width of every ASCII letter for all supported fonts.

  1. Clone the repository
  2. Open file src/pixelWidthCalculator.html in your editor
  3. Add your font name into array of fonts (currently var websafe) and save
  4. Open up src/pixelWidthCalculator.html in Google Chrome. It should look like this: PHPStan
  5. Map of withs will be generated for you - copy it and replace content of file src/widthsMap.js

Please everytime make sure you don't broke existing fonts - remove any font or broke his widths.
