Quite a posh paid app that lets you access and edit all the tables inside a font. The newly produced font file will work but will have lost a lot of features.Īs a font engineer I use these tools on a daily basis to work with binary font files without destroying them: Most of the time you’ll lose big parts of your OT Layout Features (glyph replacement, mark positioning, sometimes even the Kerning). When opening a binary font file in an editor the editor tries to reverse engineer the font, and that almost never works out. Bye for now.It’s better to use specified tools used in font production Workflows. Re-design them, using certain protocols/restraints, and then re-save them !!! Note down simplified access to such 'characters', like "Alt+176" for example. Then find some 'obscure' symbols/characters that no one cares about, or even know that are there!. Start with an existing (& royalty-free font of course! haha) Font, where 99% of the 'Formatting' work is done for you. I was going to 'procrastinate', but I decided to put it off ! ) Here's a 'quick' interim prelude. Maybe I'll put all this in another Topic? Yes, 'Font' work can be like sitting in the cockpit of a Jumbo-Jet, but it can be 'simplified' (P.S.

And it's a useful way to procrastinate to avoid doing something else." Thank you for your interest too ! Excellent idea mate. " I'd be very interested to hear a step by step description of how you go about that. I'm retired, and it's all just 'fun' now ! If I can help someone else, then I've added some worth/value to my existence !!! (It's not a 'chore'). I've got your supplied Font now, (and your symbol specs page), and will sort it out over the next couple of days! I'm only 'online' here every 2 days or so, and I'm busy designing artwork for my 'missus' for her embroidery machine. These are: - Peter Selinger's potrace - Martin Weber's autotrace Extract: FontForge does not have a native autotrace, but it will happily use the output of two freely available programs which do autotracing.

So I fetched Marvosym.ttf and the current portable app version of fontforge, set that up. But this task seems like a nice simple test case.
Which font editor do you use? I mentioned fontforge and cliffs. I'd be very interested to hear a step by step description of how you go about that.
