## Overview

### Maretime Sans is...
* A childish-looking font
* A font to show your appreciation towards My Little Pony
* A font to represent everypony
* A cool font to use for your titles

### Maretime Sans is not...
* **An official Hasbro asset or product**
* A font to use for paragraphs of text
* A font to use for non-title headings
* A font to recreate official Hasbro artwork

## Installation

The font will appear as `MLPMaretimeSans` once installed on a system, so it can go along with the Find Your Sparkle* (`MLPFindYourSparkle`) font.

**Find Your Sparkle is an official proprietary font made by Hasbro and is not provided in this repository.*

### Windows
* [Download the font](./export.otf)
* In Windows Explorer, right click it
* Click on "Install" or "Install for all users" (depending on what you want)

### macOS
* [Download the font](./export.otf)
* Open the Font Book app
* Drag-and-drop the downloaded file to the Font Book app

### Linux (GNOME/Ubuntu)
* [Download the font](./export.otf)
* Open the downloaded file with the Fonts application
* Click on "Install" in the top right corner

### Linux (KDE Plasma)
* [Download the font](./export.otf)
* Open System Settings, and go to the Fonts page
* Go to "Personal Fonts" (or "System Fonts" if you want to install it system-wide)
* Click on "Install from File..." and select the downloaded file

### CSS
* [Download the font](./export.otf) to your website (here, it is assumed to be `/assets/font.otf`)
* Add the following CSS code:
```css
@font-face {
    src: url("/assets/font.otf");
    font-family: "MLPMaretimeSans";
    font-style: normal;
    font-weight: normal;
}
```
