I see you have Cburnett's chess pieces in Lucas Chess. Unfortunately, they're in SVG format, so that means I can't use them in other chess GUIs. Is there an easy method to create a TTF file out of Cburnett's SVG files?

You could use FontForge. It is easy but laborious.

lordlouckster commented 4 years ago

Easy but laborious!? You can't say that! Those words are complete opposite of each other!

lukasmonk commented 4 years ago

Better, it is not complicated. And whether it is more or less laborious will depend on your ability, and your demands. In my case it is very laborious

lordlouckster commented 4 years ago

Does it matter where I place the different pieces in the font grid?

lukasmonk commented 4 years ago

I don't know, but I think so.
