Hi,
The font mustly large, especially traditional chinese font more then 13 MB.
I used python and fontforge to take PO file's msgstr, and generate a subset font file.
here is the files:
- python script:
http://www.ossacc.org/Members/song/DrWangFreeTTF/maketuxfont.py
- fontforge script:
http://www.ossacc.org/Members/song/DrWangFreeTTF/tuxpaintsubset.pe
- the traditional chinese font subset file:
http://www.ossacc.org/Members/song/DrWangFreeTTF/zh_tw.ttf
Usage: (put the scripts together)
$ ./maketuxfont.py -h
usage: ./maketuxfont.py [options] original_font_file
options:
--version show program's version number and exit
-h, --help show this help message and exit
-lLOCALE, --locale=LOCALE
to make the locale fonts subset
-pPOFILE, --pofile=POFILE
parse the pofile to get strings
Example:
$ ./maketuxfont.py \
-l zh_tw \
-p tuxpaint/src/po/zh_tw.po \
-p tuxpaint-stamps/po/tuxpaint-stamps-zh_tw.po \
wp010-05.ttf
then will get the "zh_tw.ttf" file.
