@Markus00000: What OS are you running the converter on? I don't have the same issue and wonder if it's platform dependent.

Markus00000 commented 10 years ago

I just noticed that I tried to convert Source Sans Pro. That's an OpenType font from Adobe. Downloading it from Google Fonts gives a TTF. I tried to run ttfautohint on that TTF and it worked. Doing the same for the OTF didn't ("This font is not a valid font in SFNT format with TrueType outlines.").

To be sure the problem wasn't caused by the font, I put Open Sans (TTF) through the converter using --autohint and it produced the same output as posted above (No such file etc.). After this step, I have OpenSans-Regular.ttf and hinted-OpenSans-Regular.eot in the directory, so it makes sense that hinted-OpenSans-Regular.ttf is not found.

I'm on Arch Linux.

You are basing your command line arguments on an outdated version of ttautohint. As of 0.96, the option "--components" has been replaced by "--composites". http://sourceforge.net/projects/freetype/files/ttfautohint/0.96/

Hey there.

Thanks for the tip! I obviously haven't updated this in a while. I'll see if I can fix this in the next few days. Much appreciated!

Cheers, Zoltan.
