However, it # isn't scalable. An SBIT font could be created and merged with the # larger TTF font using fontforge, but I (Paul Hardy) haven't noticed # any degradation in the screen rendering of just the outline TTF font # that this Makefile produces as its final product. This is with # daily use of this Makefile's default TrueType font. # # This builds an SBIT font from the unifont_sample BDF font. The # BDF font already contains font name, etc., so they don't need to # be set using SetFontNames; those parameters are left null so the # existing font's values will be preserved. However, Fontforge # does not read the FONT_VERSION property so Paul Hardy added the # the SetFontNames call. # sbit: $(FONTFORGE) -lang=ff -c \ 'New(); \ SetFontNames("","","","","","$(VERSION)"); \ Import($$1); \ Generate($$2, "ttf"); \ Close()' \ unifont_sample.bdf unifont_sample.ttf clean: \rm -f [0-9A-F].hex \rm -f [0-9A-F].sfd distclean: clean \rm -f unifont.bdf \rm -f unifont.hex \rm -f unifont.sfd \rm -f unifont.ttf \rm -f unifont-sbit.ttf .PHONY: all hex2sfd merge sfd2ttf sbit clean distclean
