-# Luis' original scripts were invoked with "-lang=ff" on the command

-# However, the latest (as of July 2008) version of Debian (Sid)

-# around this conflict between the old and new FontForge command
-# line options -- thanks to Anthony Fok for this solution.

+# FONTNAME: Name of the font inside a TTF file.
+# PSNAME: PostScript name of the font inside a TTF file; can't have spaces.
+# COMBINING: Prefix of the file containing a list of combining characters.

# This fontforge script reads a BDF font file and generates an SBIT font file.
# Author: written by Qianqian Fang, given to Paul Hardy in 2008.
-# Right now nothing calls this; it is just here for experimentation.
# The SBIT font is far smaller than the default outline TrueType font
# and takes far less time to build than the outline font. 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. Note that there
-# is no file in this directory called "unifont.bdf" -- copy a BDF font
-# here from ../compiled and name it "unifont.bdf".
+# 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.
+#
+# Commented out because not all applications correctly interpreted
+# the settings:
