Hi,Here's a first version of an sfd2ttf tool based on fontforge-20051205. You can dwonload it from [1]. It consists of 5 files (with Makefile) and has a size of 500K. There's still some dead code lying around, I think I can bring it down to 300K-400K. Is this acceptable?
Just out of interest I ran it through gcov: File 'sfd2ttf.c' Lines executed:23.50% of 2643 File 'sfd.c' Lines executed:30.49% of 2089 File 'tottf.c' Lines executed:51.85% of 2353 And out of 324 functions, 194 aren't being used.
SFD reading was quite easy, the code was well seperated. TTF generation was a bit harder. I decided to output TrueType, with bitmap tables from OpenType. The others ttf variations (full OpenType or even aat (Apple Advanced Typography)) are not supported, as it would make the tool a lot bigger (factor 2-5 or so) and i believe it's not needed (right?).
The fonts aren't generated properly for me unfortunately. I am opening them in gnome-font-viewer; there is a screenshot attached. n0dalus.
