Requires #14

Currently using my fork of bdf2ttf for this, but the conversion is pretty terrible

CharlesAverill commented 2 years ago

Current issue is that fontforge API font.autoTrace() using autotrace will do some BS tracing. We want it to trace the bitmap directly into an outline.

Compromise: Use autotrace binary with all of its CLI arguments to do the above and export as SVG, then import that SVG with fontforge font.importOutlines(svg_filename), then save to TTF

Or maybe just convert to SVG internally? Seems easy enough

CharlesAverill commented 2 years ago

Wait, maybe just use potrace
