You'll need to add these two files to your project:

• https://github.com/Financial-Times/o-footer/blob/v2.0/img/nikkei_logo.png
• https://github.com/Financial-Times/o-footer/blob/v2.0/img/nikkei_logo.svg

And the following CSS should be added/amended:

.o-footer__pearson-tagline,
.o-footer__pearson-logo {
	height: 19px;

1. Installed fontforge using the instructions on http://fontforge.github.io/en-US/.
2. Instlalled other dependencies outlined in https://github.com/Financial-Times/o-ft-icons/edit/master/README.md
3. Fontforge just opens and then immediately crashes again as documented in this bug: fontforge/fontforge#2497
4. I install font forge from HEAD using this link: http://fuuko.libferris.com/osx/packages/FontForge_latest-HEAD.app.dmg
5. This seems to work without error
6. I do obt install
7. I do grunt
8. The webfonts task (which uses fontforge) fails with (something like) fontforge is not installed please ensure you have all dependencies installed
9. I decide to use homebrew instead
10. I do brew install fontforge which appears to work
