My caps go to a little over 700 ascent, and include the descent as well (for pjyq, etc). Keep in mind to leave room for line gap (spacing). When importing I never got it to the exact position, so I always move it a little in FF. I found that getting the nodes to integers is the hardest part - and they don't seem to stay put in Inkscape, not sure why, but it's the biggest pain when making a font. When I do another font, I will move the guide lines up a bit - oh, and there's a guide glitch, they do not stay locked. I am including a scrn print of what I use. Are you using Fontforge (FF) by any chance, if so, there's some guidance in their manual, and, you have to set Inkscape's View Box at 1000, 1000. I'm currently working on making a font as well. So am just taking a stab here in case something 'sticks'. Well, I wrote a lengthy reply and it got obliterated because of the attachment, so, one more time.įirst, I haven't figured out the Font Editor, so didn't use it. Or someone else in this forum might know. If that is what you want, I'll be glad to ask developers if they know of any tutorials. In any case, if you really do want to make an SVG OpenType Font, I'd suggest doing an internet search. But now I can't find whatever I read that gave me that impression Something I read just now, doing some quick research, gave me the idea that the width of an SVG font includes all the characters, not just one character. Where do you see that the width of the font is 1024? Also, where do you see it's mm? I'm not sure why you would think that units being mm resolves the question of what units 1024 is, because 1024 mm is well over a yard, actually almost exactly one meter. I mean, if you expect it to be the size of the star shape on the canvas, well, it doesn't look like there would be room for it there. I don't think the fact it is small or in the left corner is a problem. Are you following a tutorial? Or are you otherwise familiar with SVG Fonts? In case you have gotten off track trying to make a regular font, I just found this article (while trying to learn more about SVG fonts myself) It explains about the different font formats.įor general info about making fonts, look up the guide on this site: Or search for tutorials about making fonts. I would also say that not very many people do know how to use it. And unfortunately, the manual has not been updated to include use of the SVG Font Editor. I suggest you edit the font and give hhea the same values as OS/2 (which is best practice) and leave the Win metrics at their existing values since they are used for clipping.I don't know much about making regular fonts, and nothing about SVG Fonts, or using Inkscape's SVG Font Editor. The OS/2 metrics are correct, and that is why it was fine before, now we give priority to hhea metrics for better compatibility with other applications (virtually any other Linux or Mac OS X application). Your Charter Roman font have very large hhea metrics that is different from the italic font as well as OS/2 metrics. I've only added two or three composite ref glyphs and merged > The font was "made" by me from Sergey Sharashkin derivation of Charter, made > Now, this font exists like in single copy in the world :) I guess it's okay > It might be the font, but how come fonts previously shown incorrect are None of the specialised math fonts are usable, how's that for the leading OSS productivity suite?! I would greatly appreciate somebody looking into this ASAP, as this is quite a pain. like or etc.ģ) and such info is summarized in fontconfig cache, I guess Ĥ) LIBO, if built with fontconfig support, looks into these cache files and this is where things go wrong - instead of proceeding with the info from font header (em size and baseline), which also is available there, I believe, LIBO takes on the extremum dimensions of the font. Ģ) and such glyphs, not only being "tall" (I believe I've seen sizes of those doubling the usual ("header") em size of the font) as like as not are positioned "under" the baseline, either completely or partly e.g., integral might span smth. I believe the problem stems from the following:ġ) math fonts always include some of the "tall" mathematical operators glyphs, like U+2211 summation or U+222b integral, arcs' glyphs from Misc.
