(0) Please read `mf/README'. For better readability of log files
created by METAFONT I suggest that you (temporarily) set
max_print_line=1000
in your environment.
(1) A run of `mf' (or `mf2pt1') as described in `mf/README' creates a
`*.log' file that contains lines like
@{group@:rests@}
...
@{char@:breve rest@:39@:0@:2.3805@:0@:3.9675@:2.3805@:0@:M1@}
...
@{puorg@:rests@}
The glyph name of `breve rest' is then `rests.M1'.
(2) The script `mf-to-table.py' converts the info in the `*.log' file
into the files `*.otf-gtable', `*.lisp', and `*.enc'. A rule in
`mf/GNUmakefile' concatenates the `*.lisp' files into
`*.otf-table'.
(3) The script `gen-emmentaler-scripts' creates a FontForge script
`*.genpe' that merges the Feta and Parmesan fonts into an
Emmentaler font. It also creates a text file `*.subfonts'. The
files `*.otf-table', `*.otf-gtable', and `*.subfonts' are then
embedded verbatim as SFNT tables `LILC', `LILY', and `LILF',
respectively.
If you are going to modify metrics directly in FontForge, you have to
manually adjust the corresponding values in the `LIL*' SFNT files.
