Please consider changing the shebang to #!/usr/bin/env bash
or #!/usr/bin/bash
, otherwise the hack.log
file stays empty on a Linux system and all output is instead printed to the console. Tested with Ubuntu Linux.

Added a statement about where users can find the ttf fonts to your gist header documentation over here:
https://gist.github.com/chrissimpkins/1dceed5c303179f2084f
This might be helpful if they reach your script through a site other than the Hack documentation. Thought there might be a way to PR this back to you in a gist but it appears not. Just a suggestion. Feel free to take it or leave it.
