1. extract every `sources/*.zip` to `sources/ext/*`

    for windows: select everything in sources, right click, `Extract files...` (7-zip)

    modify the path to add a `ext/` after `sources/`

2. run `python extract.py`

   this will extract all the fonts to `files/`
   
   for windows users or non-power users:
   - right-click in the newly created `fonts` folder
   - right-click, and click on `Open in Terminal`
   - then, type out '`python extract.py`' (without the single quotes btw) within the black box
   - press enter to run it

   if you get an error, you might need to install python from [here](https://www.python.org/downloads/)

      select all the fonts, right-click, `Install` or `Install for all users`

    - **for Plan9 or 9front**  
      copy the fonts to `/lib/font/bit/` after converting them with <https://git.sr.ht/~ft/ttfs>
