Using Versicle/Response in libreoffice? #1485

Closed hbeni closed 4 years ago

hbeni commented 4 years ago

Hello, for many years i was able to use the Versicle and Response symbol using the gresym.ttf in libreoffice. Since i needed to reinstall my computer, i don't see the font and formatting anymore. From the log of the project i see there where Font changes. i tried to get hold on a gresym.ttf but with no success.

How can i use the default versicle/response symbol from gresym in openoffice again, peferrably under the font name 'gresym', so i don't need to manually redo all my documents (all minor hours.... that is)?

Thank you very much in advance

To clarify, i talk about this: image (bottom the used font in libreoffice, the chant was produced somewhere in 10/2015 using debian)

Those characters no longer exist in the font because they hard coded the look of the letter and so would look out of place with most fonts (basically anything that didn’t resemble Libertine. Instead, what we have now are several different bars which can be composed with letters of the current font, leading to a much more consistent look.

To get the old stuff, you’ll need to find either a release version from before the change (the releases should have the fonts pre-built for you) or clone the repository, check-out a commit from before the change and then build the gresym.ttf font yourself.

Thank you for your fast response! How exactly can i built the fonts from the source (git checkout was already done)

IIRC make gresym.ttf should do it.

Thank you very much! i could not build it this way, but fontforge came to the rescue.

For the archives:

Here the resulting ttf (inside zip, so github accepts it): gresym2.zip

Thank you very much for this great piece of software!
