Hello,
the problem described above bites me, using lenny, too.
For every truetype fontfile I try to generate a
hintfile with:
# defoma-hints -c truetype
/usr/local/share/fonts/truetype/Some-Font-Filename.ttf
I only get tons of:
Use of uninitialized value $h[0] in pattern match (m//) at
/usr/share/defoma/libperl-hint.pl line 43.
Use of uninitialized value $h[0] in pattern match (m//) at

....
To fix this in Lenny I had to do the following steps:
1) dpkg --install libfont-freetype-perl_0.03-1_i386.deb
2) dpkg --install defoma_0.11.10-2_all.deb
3) fix /usr/share/defoma/libperl-hint.pl with the patch from Ambrose Li

foreach my $f (defoma_font_get_fonts($c)) {
my @h = defoma_font_get_hints($c, $f);
next unless (@h);
- while ($h[0] !~ /^--/) {
+ while (@h && $h[0] !~ /^--/) {
shift(@h);
}
push(@hints, @h);
After that I could generate a valid hintfile for many fonts with:
# defoma-hints --no-question truetype *.ttf > localtruetype.hints
and register this fonts with:
# defoma-font register-all localtruetype.hints
As this patch fixed the problem, and no better solution has appeared for 5
years,
apply it, please.
Thanks,
Martin
