I'm having fun creating a CDU instrument using the canvas! But I've encountered an issue that is most easily be solved, by creating a custom TrueType font - I want to replace the lowercase letters with 'small' upper-case letters, but keep the fixed width of the larger size. (Anyone who's played with a Honeywell / Smiths CDU can guess what I'm up to here….).
There's a few other issues (relating to our lack of Unicode support) I could also solve with some font hackery, especially some custom symbols. So - does anyone have any practical experience with manipulating TTF fonts? Please don't reply with lists of the tools available - I've already found those via Google - I'm wondering if anyone has any practical experience of actually doing this! My starting point for now would be one of the fixed-width Liberation TTF fonts checked into fgdata, so there's no licensing issue. In the distant future I might consider finding a more CDU-alike font to edit, but I suspect there won't be many with a compatible license.
