Modular Font Editor K (MFEK) 🔣 @MFEKglif

4 years ago

The MFEK Foundation is now maintaining sfdLib, a @FontForge library primarily for converting SFD fonts to UFO (but which is easily extended to support non-UFO formats) originally by @KhaledGhetas (thank you!). @fr_brennan just made its first PyPI release: pypi.org/project/sfdLib/

@andrew_shadura @dubovsky_jan Yes and you could check them into Git so even if FontForge wrongly deletes them you can reclaim them.

If you work a lot with SFD files, there is now a tested Python library for encoding/decoding the quoted strings in them. sfdutf7·py — github.com/ctrlcctrlv/sfd… PyPI: pypi.org/project/sfdutf… ~ @fr_brennan

This is the most horrifying code I've ever written. Thanks for the IMAPClient implementation @mjs0 lol github.com/ctrlcctrlv/sfd…

@fefodois "perfeito" ... no. Not even a little! How about "sometimes adequate"? That seems about right.

@RatanKarna (Oh, also, this is @fr_brennan, this is a shared account. I wasn't answering the one who first answered you. Hi.) If my idea to use dev2{dflt} for 'pres' 19 does not work you're probably going to want to make a GitHub issue, there are limits to what can be solved via Twitter. 🙇

@RatanKarna I also don't understand why you only specified non-dflt languages for 'pres' lookup 19. Stick to {dflt} unless you've a good reason, there's no reason you'd ever need a set including {dflt} as {dflt} is the set of all languages for the script.

③ Maybe someday ufo2ft will support it so `fontmake` can just build a font that has SVG data in its .glif files.

Workarounds for SVG-in-OT: ① You can try a script called SVGinOTlayersCompositor·py by @glukfonts: github.com/glukfonts/SVGi… ② You can use @FontTools ttLib class `table_S_V_G_`, passing `<svgDoc>` elements to `font["SVG"].fromXML("svgDoc", …)` as a post-processing step.

By "SVG font", FontForge means the outmoded SVG 1.1 standard, *not* SVG-in-OpenType, a type of OpenType font which contains SVG files for its glyphs, which it cannot yet create. And, even its SVG 1.1 support has issues, cf. e.g. github.com/fontforge/font…. Workarounds below.

If you've ever tried to use FontForge in Wine you may have found you had no keyboard input. A workaround is now available: github.com/fontforge/font… One shouldn't need FontForge in Wine, this is mostly of interest to developers or those wanting to use Windows-only Python code.
