PS allows a simplified way to create specifics (butt end, round, fat/thin sizes, etc.). I used the awesome Power Stroke (PS) to draw the fonts, but this is not necessary.
#FONTFORGE FIX WARNINGS HOW TO#
I can't figure out how to merge the guide layer with a specific font, so I didn't use it. (Note at this time there are some guides issues in Inkscape, the guidelines become unlocked it's a reported bug, so be careful). Seems it's a way to save just the guides but not sure of that (guides have their own layer in FF). Does anyone know how to make and use an FF Inkscape template? I see they have a way to save as SVG template, but I haven't figured it out. You need to pick an EM size (I chose 1000), and set your page size as well as set the Viewbox to 0,0,1000,1000 for FF. Set a base guideline, then ascent and descent guides, width guides, etc. etc., which go above or below the base line, and symbols that go above/below. This step is more complicated than it seems, you have to account for caps, lower case (lc), upper case (uc), alpha char. Having said that, below are the steps involved.īasic first steps: Start by figuring out the height, width, weight, and size of the glyphs (aka alpha characters, numbers, symbols, etc.), then set locking guides.
#FONTFORGE FIX WARNINGS MANUALS#
There are a number of manuals and guides to browse through before starting, FF is a good starting place. But, it's not kerned/placed correctly, looks terrible, and I'm having issues with placement, which I need help on, from someone who understands ascent/descent in FF. At this time I have successfully created a font (TTF), have loaded it onto my system, and can use it. I'll start by giving a very general step by step how to and sharing issues I've had/having.
(side note: I haven't found a forum at FF, if there is one, pls let me know). I wanted to create a general discussion thread where font makers can help each other in using Inkscape to create fonts, particularly in using with FontForge (FF) and to have an ongoing thread where we can discuss issues in any of the steps. I hope this is ok to post here, it's not quite a tutorial.
