In one of my previous mails I gave you a recipe how to produce a `proof' version of the font using `mf' and `gftodvi'. It doesn't help to get the exact outline since it is always based on the rasterized output of `mf', but it nicely shows the construction points (if possible). >> FONTFORGE=foo mf2pt1 --rounding=0.0001 <mf-font> , >> >> do you see the irregularity if you open the font with fontforge? > > Yes, i attach a screenshot. The font file is here: > http://www.mediafire.com/?hadr9nt5w5iqulb Looking at the image, I see that you haven't followed my advice since all overlapping outlines have been removed already. Using the `FONTFORGE=foo' environment setting while calling mf2pt1 prevents this so that you get the direct output of mf2pt1 without postprocessing with fontforge. And yes, it should really be `foo', a non-existent program name. To set up mf2pt1 so that you can call it manually in an easy way, please execute mpost -progname=mpost -ini mf2pt1.mp \\dump in the `mf' subdirectory (lilypond does this in the `mf/out' directory during `make all'). >> You might try the recent CVS version of fontforge which has a lot >> of fixed issues.

Check out the CVS sources of fontforge: cvs -d:pserver:anonym...@fontforge.cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/fontforge login cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonym...@fontforge.cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/fontforge co -P fontforge 2. Change to the freshly created `fontforge' directory and configure the program with ./configure --enable-double then build the program with make If the configure script complains it is necessary to install additional packages to fulfill all dependencies (probably missing `*-devel' packages so that the necessary C header files are provided for compiling). After installing a new package, simply rerun `./configure --enable-double' until it succeeds. 3. Finally, install it with sudo make install Assuming that you are originally using a fontforge package from your GNU/Linux distribution, your original binary is in /usr/bin/fontforge. Now you have a new, additional binary in `/usr/local/bin/fontforge'. You might add `--prefix=/your/preferred/directory/tree' to the configure script if you want a different location than `/usr/local'.
