#Fontforge join points software#

I paid for a costly windows font editor software and later found that it cannot edit the substitution tables in OT and TT fonts (GPOS, etc) for indic characters, it is very essential then i thought i would use fontforge as many references are available and it is open source and re-scritable Separate but related, a Windows package of Glyphtracer: Note: A preexisting Python 2.7 installation is needed in one’s PATH.ĭevelopment can be followed on the package’s Bitbucket site.

However i am not a linux guy and in linux you need to build build build…. So i took cygwin and installed a crappy 1.8 gb(yes! windows xp sp3 is only 3.5 gb leaving aside the program files etc) when i selected the base, lib, x11 utils option and the system slows down drastically showing a snowy fontforge menu) and to open a font file it takes a lot of time so i decided to move away from cygwin. So i thought i would use your installer (or try from 7zip) it installs beautifully but nothing shows up i waited for the xwindow… no go! when i check the task manager the fontforge.exe and Xming.exe are listed i tried to force run the fontforge from within the bin folder it gives a pop up of missing pthreadgc2.dll (though it is present in the xming 6.9.0.31 folder i copied it to the main folder (fontforge) and again tried fontforge.bat now a command window opensĬopyright (c) 2000-2011 by George Williams.Įxecutable based on sources from 13:48 GMT 2-ML-TtfDb-NoPython.
