+
+
+NOTE: Because *Operator Mono* is not a free font, you must have the original font files. This utility 
+will merge the ligature definitions into a copy of the original font. The new font family is named *Operator Mono Lig* so you can install it side-by-side with the original font.
+
+## Prerequisites
+* The original *Operator Mono* font... of course.
+* Install *fonttools* from https://github.com/fonttools/fonttools
+  * Install Python
+  * Run: `pip install fonttools`
+* Node.js
+
+## How to Install
+
+Once all the prerequisites have been installed, clone this repo.
+
+From the command line, run:
+
+```
+npm install
+```
+
+Copy your *Operator Mono* OpenType files into the `original` folder.
+
+From the command line, run:
+
+```
+build
+```
+
+This will generate the new font files int the `build` folder. You can now install these fonts on your system.
