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
|
|
We have included it with our tarball, but you might want to check for a
|
|
newer version just in case. If you have it in the directory with the
|
|
SlackBuild script, it will automatically place the cidmaps inside the package.
|
|
|
|
You will also want to have an extracted copy of the freetype source code
|
|
available inside the extracted SlackBuild tarball directory - in other words:
|
|
/somedir/fontforge/
|
|
README
|
|
fontforge.SlackBuild
|
|
fontforge.info
|
|
slack-desc
|
|
freetype-2.3.5/
|
|
Fontforge seems to build (and function) just fine without doing this (this is
|
|
at least true for prior versions), but it does look for the freetype sources
|
|
while compiling, so it's probably best to make them available just in case :)
