 *Most* Batteries inlcuded repo to patch MonoLisa with Nerd Fonts glyphs
 
+tested w/ MonoLisa v1.808
+
 ## Before You Begin
 
 First you will need to install `fontforge`
 There are a number of caveats to invoking the `font-patcher` script.
 Some of which are explained by [nerd fonts](https://github.com/ryanoasis/nerd-fonts#font-patcher).
 
-Using `patch-monolisa` assumes you have installed fontforge using your system dependency manager.
-On ubuntu: `sudo apt-get install fontforge`.
+On Arch:
+
+```bash
+sudo pacman -S fontforge
+```
+
+You can also download the version for your system from the releases in the fontforge [repo](https://github.com/fontforge/fontforge).
 
 ## Downloading MonoLisa
 
 Once you have acquired MonoLisa, follow the link in your email to download it.
-Then extract the `.zip` into `MonoLisa/`.
+Then extract the `.zip` file of the type you've downloaded into `MonoLisa/`.
+
+The expected directory structure is below.
+You only need to download the font types you plan to use.
+
+```bash
+MonoLisa
+├── otf
+├── ttf
+├── woff
+└── woff2
+```
 
 ## Patching your font
 
 Once you have downloaded MonoLisa and `fontforge`
-you can easily apply the nerd font patches using the `patch-monolisa` script.
-The only required argument is the font file extension you want to patch. 
-All remaining supplied arguments are passed to the `font-patcher` script.
+you can easily apply the nerd font patches with `make`.
+
+To patch all font types use the default `patch` rule.
+
 
 ```bash
-./patch-monolisa otf -c -w
+make
+```
+
+By default the complete (`-c`) flag is passed to the font-patcher script to include all icons/symbols.
+You can change this by specifying the `ARGS` at runtime.
+
+
+```bash
+ARGS="-c -w" make patch
 ```
 
 You can find your patched fonts in the `patched/` directory
 
-If like me you want to place your patched fonts in a standard location on your Unix system you can move them to `~/.local/share/fonts/MonoLisa` with the `update-fonts` script.
+If like me you want to place your patched fonts in a standard location on your Unix system you can move them to `~/.local/share/fonts/MonoLisa` with the `bin/update-fonts` script.
+
+Or for simplicity you can copy the fonts and update the cache with:
+```bash
+make update-fonts
+```
+
+You can verify the fonts have been added with `make check`.
 
 ## Changing the Batteries
 
-If I haven't committed to this repo in a while it's likely a good idea to run `update-src` to update the fonts, icons and patcher script.
