The most obvious aspect is that it is a drawing program like FreeHand, Inkscape You can save fonts in many different outline formats, and generateĪ font editor is a progam designed to creat and modify fonts. ![]() CaveatįontForge allows you to create and modify postscript, truetype and opentypeįonts. ``Is that little Piglet?'' said Eeyore, still looking hardįont design can be a Trap, but I find it a rather pleasant one. ``Oh, Eeyore,'' he began again, ``just -'' Not at the other, and the third stick was laid across them. Two of the sticks were touching at one end, but FontForge's use of the Unicode Private Use AreaĪnd was looking at them.Spline Font Database File Format (also out of.Source file overview (out of date, but goes over the.Hotkeys for Menu commands and other actions.Lookups, Features, Scripts and Languages.Introductory concepts: fonts, splines, lines, points and.* I tried several releases, but I tested most with the latest release as well as the Jrelease. The newly generated font now doesn't show the correct glyph. I'm unsure what these mean, but I tell FontForge to go ahead anyway, so I clicked "Save". Glyph contains overlapped hints (in the same hintmask) I have not changed any settings in FontForge, so the "Options" window just shows defaults.Īfter validating, an error shows up saying that "the font contains errors": I only force glyph names to: "Validate Before Saving". I then export/generate the font through File>Generate Fonts., where I'll select a fontname, say comic2.ttf, where I'll set options: "TrueType", "No Bitmap Fonts" and "No Rename". In the new window I can save the font as say, comic2.sfd. Afterwards, I save the font as a FontForge file (just to be sure) through File>Save as. I move an anchor point to a random location (you can change two anchor points to be sure). To edit the glyph, I open up FontForge* and double click any glyph. I can change any glyph, say the capital letter A. The problem persists.įor reproducability, consider Comic Sans (which I believe comes with any windows distribution): a TrueType flavoured OpenType font. I've already tried changing the font cache, reinstalling everything (windows included), or trying different fonts, glyphs, and so on. I can reproduce the problem on both of my windows 7 systems (laptop/PC), I can reproduce the problem with either of two pieces of font editing software. I've tried changing some things around a bit. Converting the OpenType file to readable font metrics for my typesetting software, the *wrong* glyph shows up in the glyph table. ![]() FontExplorer does *not* show the edited glyph, while Suitcase Fusion *does* show the new glyph. However, something strange happens when I check the font in the font management software. (The final product is to be a math font for use with the TeX typesetting system.)Įditing any font is correctly reflected in both pieces of font editing software (Studio as well as FF). To check how the new font looks, I also have trial versions of I therefore decided altering the glyph slightly to show a longer extension from the baseline (I hope it's clear what I mean with this).Īfter doing some research, I have the following software at my disposal for changing the glyph: In a font I recently bought, a glyph is too small for my liking (the glyph in question is the "radical" ).
