Regarding porting project to (A)FDK(O) workflow #6

Closed pauldhunt closed 10 years ago

pauldhunt commented 10 years ago

I noticed that this is listed as an item in your roadmap. I would like to help with this if you would like my help. Just as an informational note, the latest FDK workflow utilizes UFO files as inputs, thus it seems that if you are serious about wanting to change to this workflow it would be a benefit to convert the sources from VFB sources to UFO. I’m interested in hearing what you think of this.

I am keen to move all libre fonts to a UFO source on Github situation, and when FDK becomes libre, that will all come together nicely :) However, some libre fonts made with non-UFO tools can be maintained in Github with TTX as a stop gap, which is how this repo is set up.

Please check your mail.

Dear Girish,

One of the purposes to log issues is to also track their progress. You may consider leaving open issues that have not yet been resolved so that strategies about how they can be resolved can be discussed in the open.

Just a thought.

I agree with Paul, let's keep the thread and discussions open :)

I'll send the freeware vfb2ufo tool that was sent to folks on the UFO mailing list to you both in a moment.

I think FontForge can convert OTL tables to FEA, if the FL tool doesn't.
