<br>hinting language for FontForge: get it at
<br><a href="http://xgridfit.sourceforge.net" target="_top" rel="nofollow">http://xgridfit.sourceforge.net</a>. I'll paste in release notes below.
<br><br>Peter Baker
<br><br><br>In Xgridfit 2.0, Python mode, experimental in version 1.19, is now the
<br>default: scripts output by Xgridfit are in Python unless the option
<br>"-l ff" is given on the command-line. Python output has been improved
<br>in various ways, most visibly that the script does not stop on the
<br>most common errors, but rather displays a warning and proceeds.
<br><br>This version introduces merge-mode, in which the output is a Python
<br>script that cleanly merges Xgridfit programming with the programming
<br>already in a font. In this mode, Xgridfit can set blue values,
<br>auto-hint and auto-instruct the font (through FontForge, of course),
<br>and then merge in Xgridfit programming. Alternatively, it can add
<br>instructions to a font that already has them. It can store a record of
<br>the font's original fpgm, prep and maxp values in FontForge's
<br>font.persistent dictionary so that Xgridfit can be run repeatedly
<br>against the same .sfd file without causing duplication (but backups
<br>are advisable, of course!).
<br><br>Merge-mode replaces an earlier, much more complicated method of
<br>merging Xgridfit programming into an existing font.
<br><br>There have been some pretty extensive internal changes: bugs have been
<br>fixed and the main number-handling routines have been deeply rewritten
<br>for greater stability and maintainability.
<br><br>You should uninstall any earlier version of Xgridfit before installing
<br>this one, as most files now go in a different, more standard
<br>location. Alternatively, just delete the directory
<br>/usr/local/share/xgridfit (or /usr/share/xgridfit) before installing.

<br><br>Is there a facility in FF to mark glyphs in the font window (say with a colour), or classify them any other way in an ad hoc fashion? I can't see any at the moment, but it would be handy.

This occurs because Python passes in a very large value (probably the maximum size of an unsigned int) for _end_ to indicate "to the end of the sequence".<br>
<br>A closer reading of the Python documentation seems to suggest that slicing can never generate an index-out-of-range error. The attached patch adjusts the contour slicing behavior to match this. It also changes the behavior of assigning slices as well.<br>

<br><br>I've just returned from giving a workshop on Indic Unicode font development based on fontforge. It was very successful and fontforge performed admirably. This was the first time we had run fontforge up against fontlab as a possible development tool and fontforge stood up very well. The following are key features that I found valuable:
<br><br>1. We had the source code. I was able to make a few patches to give the designers some core features they wanted.
<br>2. sfd is a textual format. I was able to write a program sfdmerge that does a 3 way ancestral merge for version control. I was also able to dig myself out of the holes caused by a bug in said program!
<br>3. spiros are cool. One particular font that was being cleaned up had a lot of corner points (complete with real corners) where curve points should have been used. A simple matter of selecting the curve, changing all the points to spiro g4s and then converting back to cubic splines and simplifying removed much of the junk.
<br><br>So what did we learn from the process. Well there are a number of areas of improvement I would like to see in fontforge as a result:
<br><br>1. Add validation options to test rsb and/or lsb being < a certain value (e.g. 0)
<br><br>2. Add accelerator key for view/fill. I enclose a patch (fill_key.diff) that sets this to Ctl+Shft+Y but any single key stroke would do.
<br><br>3. Add show point positions. I enclose a patch (pointnumbers.diff) which adds this to the View/Point Numbers menu. Being able to show all the point positions is helpful to designers so they can check alignments etc.
<br><br>4. Fontforge crashes if an anchorclass is declared in a .sfd referencing a non existent lookup
<br><br>5. In GSUB multiple substitutions, the hover showing the glyphs has the arrow pointing in the wrong direction.
<br><br>6. It's very hard to move anchor classes between lookup subtables.
<br><br>7. Typing glyphs into the metrics window is really hard work. Can we be enabled to add glyphs to the metric window by glyph name?
<br><br>8. If you add a lookup or an anchorclass and then delete it, you can't add another with the same name without restarting fontforge.
<br><br>9. It would be very helpful to add the concept of global classes that can be referenced in contextual chaining rules.
<br><br>10. When I attach a second monitor and so increase my x pixels by a factor of 2, the menu/text font in fontforge doubles in size.
<br><br>11. I enclose a patch (glyph_label.diff) to make the glyph label in the fontview have its baseline on the bottom of the label rather than sometimes the label floating downwards beyond readability.
<br><br>Yours,
<br>Martin

This otf works fine for me as well, even installing with the GUI. I still need to add a few glyphs. Then I'll just make addenda to the lookup tables you filled out. When I get something that feels like a completion, I'll repost so this thread is more thorough.<br>
<br>I've been playing around with the 'ccmp' version of my font. Things have gotten better, but I'm not exactly sure why. I started a fresh sfd file and cut and pasted my basic latin glyphs from the old MJFN.sfd. Then I started creating ligatures for my accented characters in PUA slots. Then I created new lookup tables. Now my accented characters substitutions are working.<br>
<br>Like I said, I'm not fully sure why. This time I put the ligature glyphs into PUA slots rather than requisitioning non-PUA slots and using references rather than independent contours. I also am making several lookup tables, last time I just had one table that had all my substitutions in it. I think it will make testing easier if I make a small set of ccmp substitutions and incrementally try them out. I also added extrema to all my glyphs ( a few still show up as errors when I generate a font, but now I'm only ignoring a handful of glyph errors rather than missing extrema on just about every character.) I also noticed my Win descent had gotten screwed up in the OS/2 menu. I orginally set the Win Descent for 750 as my g's and y's descenders are rather low and after generating the font the OS/2 at changed to ~1400.<br>
<br>Anyway, none of these things intuitively seem to have anything to do with 'ccmp' but these are the things I've done, and now my font works.<br><br>Thanks for all the help.<br><br>Jedd Schrock<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">

I have both Gnome and KDE installed on my computer, so to install fonts I do<br>
one of two things:<br>
<br>
1. right click on font file, open with KFontView. This brings up a GUI that<br>
shows the font's characters and has a button to install. When I open the<br>
MJFNotf.otf that I just generated, it displays the glyphs, but the install<br>
button is disabled.<br>
<br>
2. Applications -- System Tools -- System Settings -- Font installer. Then<br>
a window opens where I navigate to the folder containing the font I want to<br>
install. Highlight click add. When I navigate to the folder containing<br>
MJFNotf.otf the file isn't recognized in the window no matter which file<br>
type I filter for.<br>
<br>

<br></div>
I usually don't use a GUI to install fonts, but still, I was able to do it in Gnome. So it's hard to say what might be going wrong with your font.<div class="im"><br>

A little more background on what I'm trying to do. Given this font is a<br>
handwriting font, and it contains diacritics, I am going to need to make<br>
diacritics attach at differing points on Base glyphs. I first made a ttf<br>
version of this font thinking I could accomplish my goal by creating<br>
ligature glyphs of all the base/mark combinations. then invoke these with a<br>
'ccmp' lookup. I've done this with one previous font with fewer diacritics<br>
and it worked. It gave me some confidence I could do it again, except<br>
MJFN.sfd's 'ccmp' lookup doesn't seem to be working. That's when I started<br>
to think about going the Open Type path and using anchor points. If I would<br>
generate a .ttf and click Open Type in the options box, would that font then<br>
have Open Type tables and working anchor points, or do anchor points only<br>
work with fonts generated as .otf?<br>
<br>
<br>
</blockquote></div>
Either ccmp or mark should work for you, but with ccmp you need to anticipate all the combinations you need. All OpenType features should work equally well whether you choose TrueType or "OpenType" (CFF) outlines. You just need to check the "OpenType" box in "Options" to make sure they get generated.<br>
<br>
Use "mark" instead of "abvm" and "blwm" for positioning marks over base glyphs. You need to create the "mark" lookup, then the subtable, then (for the functionality you seem to be aiming at) two anchor classes, one for marks positioned above the character, another for marks positioned below. Then you need to add anchors to all the characters and diacritics that need them. I've roughed in the infrastructure and added anchors to a, uni0302 and uni0308 (non-spacing circumflex and diaeresis). Get it here (note that this "server," actually just a home computer, is turned off after 11:00 pm Eastern Standard Time):<br>

For the sequence a uni0308 uni0302 the dieresis is centered over the a and the circumflex over the dieresis. Note that in the lookup list "mkmk" has got to follow "mark."<br>

<br>> Hi Albert,
<br>> Your info is very complete, so it’s easy to see the problem.
<br>>
<br>> Avoiding the range x80-x9f is standard nowadays: unicode fonts don’t
<br>> allow any characters in there.
<br>> And xAD is also a kind of control character: I think Microsoft
<br>> introduced it to enable typists to insert it to indicate where a word
<br>> may be hyphenated. It’s called "discretionary hyphen" or "soft
<br>> hyphen". So you need to avoid that position too.
</div><br>It's also used in PDFs to mark that a hyphen in the text was
<br>discretionary. That way, for instance, when you extract text with the
<br>select tool the hyphen will be removed.

<br><br>That brings up the point of converting existing documents, of course, but if that is necessary and they contain characters in the x80-x9f range, you’re in trouble anyway.

<br>>
<br>Well, I tend to think that the best approach, when a font is going to
<br>have a basic Latin alphabet in it, is to choose ISO 10646-1 (Unicode
<br>BMP) as the encoding. This makes the font useful in the widest possible
<br>range of applications. For your symbols, search the symbol ranges of the
<br>Unicode spec (www.unicode.org) to find out where they should go, and if
<br>you don't find them, assign them code points in the Private Use Area.

I would have thought that defining these characters as a symbol font would have changed the font to let these characters work. However I just took a look at the Wingding fonts and see that the same thing exists with the 0xAD character there as well.
<br><br>So, what is the best approach around this issue? Is there a different encoding I can use? Or should I move the characters out of the 0x80-0x9F, and 0xAD slots into others?
<br><br>This font is intended to be used within my program, but I also would like it to work within standard applications like word, powerpoint, notepad, wordpad and paint.
<br><br>It sounds like moving these characters around might be an option, or, picking a more appropriate encoding and/or assigning unicode values that would be more 'compatible' with the font.
<br><br>I just don't think I know enough at this point to know the right answer. ;-)

<br><br>if I run fontforge ion3 tilling workspace and open char to edit,
<br>fontforge begins to tool window open/close loop. To stop it, I need to
<br>move fontforge to floating workspace.
<br><br>I think fontforge communicates WM incorrectly. Possibly the same can be
<br>applied to other tilling WMs.

<br>highly incompatible with python 2). I've only set it up for Gentoo or
<br>similar OSes. Also there needs to be more work done in converting
<br>python.c to use unicode strings where necessary, but we can get those
<br>later. I've done enough of them already that I can run a bunch of
<br>scripts I use. :) They can be found by examination but I don't feel
<br>like doing that right now; and to test some of my other fontforge
<br>scripts I'll need to port other packages first (or in some cases wait
<br>for new versions).
<br><br>In the attached tarball there are:
<br><br>* A patch to C code, which should be applied with "patch -Np0",
<br><br>* A patch to setup.py.in, applied with "patch -Np1"
<br><br>* A patch to configure.dynamic.in, applied with "patch -Np1"
<br><br>I'm not sure how all the *.in stuff is supposed to be packaged. :)
<br><br>(In place of the hooks used for the python2 extension, I have symbolic
<br>links to or copies of libfontforge.so. I imagine that symlinks allow
<br>an OS to keep just one copy of the library in memory, but that's
<br>outside my sphere of knowledge.)

<br><br>private.guess(), according to the docs.

<br>AutoInstr()

<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Is there a way to show numbers on the
top ruler--x values--of a glyph window? Or a way to turn the y value ones
sideways, and closer to their marks? Or maybe distinguish the marks more?</font>
