I hope I can help with a script I made long ago for converting font files. My script's date stamp says 2005-11-26 and I don't remember much about Fontforge but the script itself is simple and the code explains itself. Give it font file names as arguments. #!/usr/bin/fontforge i = 1 while ( i < $argc ) Open($argv[i]) Generate($argv[i]:r + ".pfa") i++ endloop -- /// Teemu Likonen - .-.. https://www.iki.fi/tlikonen/ // OpenPGP: 4E1055DC84E9DFF613D78557719D69D324539450 signature.asc Description: PGP signature
Using fontforge to convert TrueType or OpenType fonts to PostScript Type 1
Can anyone show how to script the above conversion? The output should at least have the first 256 glyps, but converting to multiple Types 1 or an acceptable PostScript Level 2 or 3 advanced type is better (as long it can be represented in a PS printer-acceptable text file). I have had success creating Type 1 .pfa files using the widget interface, but would prefer scripting. Thanks, -Tom
