Changing the separator to . and using $(suffix) does make things
cleaner. Good call.

I can indeed generate them externally, and I'm fairly sure I could
even generate them "internally" in the recursive example I gave, with
some modifications:
-- makefile --
# assuming name.size.fnt
%.fnt: FORCE
@make -sC font.make -DSIZE=$(subst .,,$(suffix $*)) -DDEP=$(basename
$*).otf $@
-- font.make --
%.fnt: $(DEP)
@fontgen -p $(SIZE) $< $@
This does fix the dependency relationship and does what I need it
to, but (as with using $(eval)) the method feels inelegant. It feels
like I'm working around make rather than working with it, and whenever
I find myself fighting my tools I suspect I'm doing something wrong.
