Converting bitmap fonts to TrueType is far, far too hard in 2020. I've tried to do the same on numerous different occasions with FontForge and gave up every time through things just not working or hard crashes. I either got lucky by finding someone else who had already converted the font to TrueType somehow, or used a different font altogether. Since bitmap fonts are starting to become deprecated[0] in some window managers like i3 this process is starting to become a necessity. Maybe there should be a library-based approach that provides the same functionality as potrace. [0] https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/pango/issues/386 |
