--- Comment #30 from Hans Ulrich Niedermann <[email protected]> --- I have found two ways to generate *.otb files for Terminus so far. Those are: 1. the fonttosfnt way which generates * one TerminusBold.otb from ter-u*b.bdf and * one TerminusNormal.otb from ter-u*n.bdf with commands like fonttosfnt -b -c -g 2 -m 2 -o TerminusBold.otb ter-u*b.bdf fonttosfnt -b -c -g 2 -m 2 -o TerminusNormal.otb ter-u*n.bdf 2. the fontforge way which generates * one ter-*[bn].otb for every ter-*[bn].bdf with a number of commands like fontforge -lang=ff -c 'Open("ter-u12b.bdf"); Generate("ter-u12b.otb")' At this time, I am inclined towards the fontforge way, as this uses the stock fontforge shipped with Fedora, not from some COPR. Now I am trying to read the current font guidelines, to fish out the information applying for bitmap fonts from amongst instructions using tools not shipped in Fedora at all (ttname), applying to vector fonts only, etc. I still want to maintain backward compatibility with older software which still uses the old fonts through old rendering libraries. Not everyone is using Pango and Gnome, after all. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug. _______________________________________________ fonts-bugs mailing list -- [email protected] To unsubscribe send an email to [email protected] Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/[email protected]
