@ -12,12 +12,11 @@ Again, to generate tabs go to the ***[Online Generator](http://domtabs.sandflea.
You need the python packages for reportlab (http://www.reportlab.com/software/opensource/rl-toolkit/download/) and PIL (http://www.pythonware.com/products/pil/) installed. You can install them manually or use the included setup.py via 'python setup.py install' (perhaps run via 'sudo' if not in a virtual env) which should install everything for you.
#### Fonts
I believe I cannot distribute one font (Minion Pro) dominion\_tabs uses as they are commercially sold by Adobe. However, the font files are included with every install of the free Adobe Reader. For example, on Windows 7 they are in C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Reader 9.0\Resource\Font called MinionPro-Regular.otf and MinionPro-Bold.otf. Copy these two files to a subdirectory called 'fonts' in the dominion_tabs directory.

Sadly, these fonts use features of the otf format that are not support by the reportlab package. Thus, they need to first be converted to ttf (TrueType) format. I used the open source package fontforge to do the conversion. Included as 'convert.ff' is a script for fontforge to do the conversion, on Mac OS X with fontforge installed through macports you can just run './convert.ff MinionPro-Regular.otf' and './convert.ff MinionPro-Bold.otf'. With other fontforge installations, you'll need to change the first line of convert.ff to point to your fontforge executable. I have not done this step under Windows - I imagine it may be possible with a cygwin install of fontforge or some such method.

## Install/Running
Once the prerequisites exist, just run 'python dominion_dividers.py <outfile>' to produce a pdf file of dominion tabs. You can use a '-h' flag to see various options, such as changing to vertical tabs.
