Update FontForge Homebrew Formula with Python extension #4

Closed codingisacopingstrategy closed 12 years ago

codingisacopingstrategy commented 13 years ago

Our build script requires FontForge with the Python extension. (Or alternatively, the Adobe Font Development Kit in combination with the RoboFab and UFO2FDK packages. AFDKO is closed-source and also non-trivial to install.) To make the build scripts accessible on OS X, a proper HomeBrew Formula is required.

I’ve had no luck adding the python extension to the formula:

I would be very happy if someone with more experience with makefiles and distutils (the documentation is really bad, no?) could take a look at this.

I did add a nifty gizmo though: running $ brew install fontforge --HEAD automagically fetches the latest revision from fontforge’s development tree and installs it.

Right, this is fixed. See https://github.com/mxcl/homebrew/issues/4689 . Updated install instructions in ufo2otf accordingly in ab3b5a47cd6f8d173b6496eff1e822518f4a2198
