I maintain the ttf-larabie-* packages, a set of 350 almost-free fonts (free as in free beer that is ;) - in 450 ttf files. I'd like to support defoma, but the defoma utilities for generating the defoma hint files are unuseable for me.
1. it takes ages: i have to confirm about 20 dialogs for each font. Makes 9000 dialogs i have to fill out and confirm... I havn't found a way to specify certain defaults, either... for example i want all Fonts to use the "LarabieFonts" Registry. Second i do not want to be shown the confirmation that the font uses "iso-8859-1" as default encoding... 2. i don't know enough about fonts to classify them. Is this font now Roman, is it Semilight, is it NoSerif? For most fonts i tried classifying i did not succeed really. It was difficul enough to split them into three useful packages... I tried mailing the defoma maintainer a few month's ago; i did not recieve a reply. Can someone point me to some useful scripts for generating defoma hints?
