hello :)
Guys, can you tell me how to create font with Inkscape? I use SVN version but can't see any menus/option for them. Maybe SVGFonts hasn't implemented yet? I've created my first font (rather vector objects yet) and I'd like to covert it to SVGFont and finally to truetype.
How to deal with it?
For truetype output, you could make your letters as separate SVG files, and use python (with the fontforge module) to create a TTF from them.
I'm attaching a *very* crude script/hack i made months ago to do that -- with fixed spacings and only for letters. It will need a blank .sfd font file -- Fontforge's format -- which will be filled with your vector files (i'm attaching it as well). Maybe you'll want to change some
Hope this is somehow useful. :r
