Package: fontforge
Version: 0.0.20050911-1.dkg.0
Severity: wishlist
Tags: patch
Attached is a patch to add a function SetTTFWeight() to fontforge's
scripting commands, since i couldn't find a way to set this variable
from any existing script function.
You can currently access this information through the GUI via the
"Font Info..." dialog [0].
My patch also modifies the shipped documentation to include a
reference to the new function. Modifying the documentation uses a new
debian/htdocs-patches directory, along with a new line in debian/rules
to invoke those patches.
Please let me know if there are any problems with the patch.
