This package offers authors who want to publish their documents under a Creative Commons license an easy way to include the relevant icons in their documents.
To use this package, include
\usepackage{ccicons}
in the preamble of your LaTeX document. See the PDF documentation for the details.
Building the fonts requires fontforge and afm2tfm.
To install the fonts, the accompanying LaTeX package and the documentation in your home texmf tree, run:
make install
If you want to use a different texmf tree, you can specify it using the variable TEXMFDIR:
make install TEXMFDIR=/usr/local/texlive/texmf-local
Afterwards, make sure to update the file database using mktexlsr or
texhash (the command may vary depending on what distribution you use).
Finally, you need to activate the map file fdsymbol.map. For TeX Live, this
can be achieved by the following command:
updmap-user --enable Map=fdsymbol.map
For installation in a system-wide texmf tree, replace updmap-user by
updmap-sys.
Make sure you have read https://tug.org/texlive/scripts-sys-user.html before
invoking updmap-user.
