I had to compile fontforge from source because it wasn't in the repos. I was doing "make check" for the tests, I think it was test 68 or something that wouldn't work because of the missing modules. It could be that was all that was needed, but I was sick of it not working so that's why I compiled i

Well I thought I would report back for posterity in case anyone else runs into the same problem. I was working on the tests for fontforge and one failed because I didn't have some python module installed that it needed. I installed that and then recompiled fontforge with every extra thing enabled t

Running make bytecode VERBOSE=1 helped me to find the last command that is run, which is fontforge -script feta11.pe feta11.pfb So I turned on FONTFORGE_VERBOSE and ran the same script. It shows the same warning about Mac Roman, but then continues, which was encouraging. It then runs four lines:

Alright I was hopeful I had solved the problem, but it appears not. Here's what I did. I replaced the system iconv with gnu-libiconv, so that when I did "iconv -l" I can see MAC ROMAN as an option. I did a new clean build of fontforge. When it was configuring I saw lines saying that it was going to

As an alternate approach could you use the \arrpegioBracket ? It's a little more square, but I think there's a way to override that. I used it once to put a bracket around a cord. You just have to override one of the properties to move the endpoints in the negative direction as well as an x offset
