FontForge is an outline font editor that lets you create your own postscript,
|
|
|
|
|
truetype, opentype, cid-keyed, multi-master, cff, svg and bitmap (bdf, FON,
|
|
|
|
|
NFNT) fonts, or edit existing ones. It also lets you convert one format to
|
|
|
|
|
another. FontForge has support for many Macintosh font formats.

From the README-unix file inside the source:
|
|
|
|
|
If you want to edit CID-keyed fonts (for CJK fonts) you may want to pull
|
|
|
|
|
down the cidmap package from http://fontforge.sf.net/cidmaps.tgz
|
|
|
|
|
If you download this file and place it in the directory with the SlackBuild
|
|
|
|
|
script, the script will automatically place the cidmaps inside the package.

You might also want to have an extracted copy of the freetype source code
|
|
|
|
|
available inside the extracted SlackBuild tarball directory - in other words:
|
|
|
|
|
/somedir/fontforge/

|
|
|
|
|
Fontforge seems to build (and function) just fine without doing this, but
|
|
|
|
|
it does look for the freetype sources while compiling, so it's probably
|
|
|
|
|
best to make them available just in case :)
