I'm pretty ebarassed about this! tried to open the source sfd files with fontforge and I can't see any glyph, so the problem is not just with generated ttf file. Here's a snipped of a conversation about this which took place on #dejavu <+eimai> same problem here <+eimai> did george change his sfd format again? <+eimai> SplineSet, I can't remember seeing that in old sfd files <+eimai> it appears that SplineSet isn't in older sfd files, comes after "Fore", don't know what it means or why it should create problems <+eimai> strange enough, EndSplineSet is in the older sfd format <+eimai> I'd say: upgrade FF again and open the files again, should then work I guess and generate proper ttf files <+eimai> after that: go moan against george that he should warn about breakage in his sfd format :-p <+eimai> don't know, my version can't handle it, I guess just go to current svn regards, Davide
