[Freefont-bugs] Re: sinhala fonts - test for unix

[Mettavihari]

Dear Noah,

This is just another update for you.

We have now generated all the codes that are used in the Windows TTF
Using the glyphs from our own font.

I have still not gotten down to setup a Unix system with the font editor
pfaedit.
The font has been edited using fontographer.

None of the linking using the volt tool has been done in it

You should have the font in a few days. It is not in my machine as yet.

Please have a look at the work and let me know which direction we should go.

Please also let me know if you want me to post an incomplete ttf font to the
list

regards
Mettavihari

I am not sure. Pfaedit supports some of the opentype
gsub/gpos tables, but not all. There's some information
about it here: http://pfaedit.sourceforge.net/gposgsub.html
There is another tool for unix called ttx which might support
more tables. http://sourceforge.net/projects/fonttools/ But
it is not a graphical tool.

The list must be able to answer this question better than I can.
