  6. Edit: closed, I got plenty of responses, thank you fediverse!

    Any graphic designers focused on #typography here? I'm wanting to convert/remaster one of my old logos, expand it into a (partial) font I could use for videos. I have the tools, but not the time or experience to know what needs fixing.

    If you're interested and have created/edited fonts before, DM me your related portfolio and we can talk. If you know someone who may be interested, please boost. #GraphicDesign #font #FontForge #logo

  11. hmm ... trying to modify a pixel font to include special characters like äöüéê etc. is a pain in the 4$s. i am really thinking to skip localization even though i finished english, german, french and italian. in german i can substitute ä=ae, ö=oe, ü=ue, ß=ss. but in french, everything looks like I have a spelling disability when éèê etc. are missing and just be the standard characters. time to scrape the net for a similar font with special characters. #font #development #gamedev #fontforge

  16. I bought a personal windows PC because I refuse to give money to the Apple ecosystem, and Android doesn't host font development software. I think this is the open-source program people recommended, though I'm not sure, am about to try it out for this week's homework, on the last week of my 2nd course

  21. I have created a ‘sortsmill’ organization on Github so I could fork this project I got driven out of years ago, by bullying: github.com/sortsmill/fontforge

    If I had stayed in the project, it would have had multilanguage interfaces, not just Python. I mean every language under the sun. I had already made the basic changes in my own stuff.

    As it stands, I might do it again and submit the changes. But machines are fast now. More likely I will make a Python-Ada shim for it.

  26. In a continuing flurry of boring #FontForge news, I ported two more dialogs to GTK: bitmap strikes and problem detector.

    This boosts the number of modernized UI dialogs to 3 out of ~150. That's 2%, yay! 💪

  29. Fredrick Brennan, one of FontForge chief maintainers and a board member, passed away on January 10 at the age of 31.

    I didn't work together with him, as I became involved with FontForge a few years after he moved on to develop MFEK. Nevertheless his essay "Why MFEK" (github.com/MFEK/docs/blob/mast) deeply influenced me. In fact it was Fredrick's gloomy assessment of the state of FontForge that brought me on the crusade to prove him wrong.

  39. Today's FontForge shout-out 📢 goes to Skef, one of the long-term maintainers. He did an enormous amount of work to clean up the codebase for C++ compatibility and made the Python module importable by the standard Windows Python installation.

    No screenshots today, but trust me, it was a really huge project.
