Subject: Re: Mensural c clef - metafont design/philosophy question
I'm playing with metafont to redesign the mensural c clef and see
that most of the clefs are drawn by creating a pattern of the
desired shape and then filling it. An alternative would be to
select a pen and draw the shape by connecting the vertices.
Please call
FONTFORGE=foo mf2pt1 --rounding=0.0001 <lilypond-font.mf>
To try to get this working at all, I've copied the font file, mftpt1 and
mf2pt1.mem to the same directory - it's the only way it would run at all on
my system. Running using parmesan-clefs.mf as the target results in an
enormous error log starting:
========================================
fet_begingroup
! Isolated expression.
<to be read again>
(
l.20 fet_begingroup (
"clefs");
I couldn't find an `=' or `:=' after the
expression that is shown above this error message,
so I guess I'll just ignore it and carry on.
! Extra tokens will be flushed.
<to be read again>
(
l.20 fet_begingroup (
"clefs");
I've just read as much of that statement as I could fathom,
so a semicolon should have been next. It's very puzzling...
but I'll try to get myself back together, by ignoring
everything up to the next `;'. Please insert a semicolon
now in front of anything that you don't want me to delete.
(See Chapter 27 of The METAFONTbook for an example.)
=============================================
Any idea what I'm doing wrong?
