I'm interested but I cannot even build it... It seems too much task for me... Many packages are related, and according to release notes https://github.com/fontforge/fontforge/releases , there are many changes since the current cygwin version. So I think adequately or more skilled persons should do... And packaging woff2 https://github.com/google/woff2 seems necessary to prepare fontforge. -- Lem -- Problem reports: https://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: https://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: https://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: https://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
