-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, I am currently maintaining Liberation Fonts project. As most of the bugs that I received were in regard to hinting defects, I would like to ask about info of font hinting. As you might heard of, Liberation Fonts were shipped from commercial fonts manufacturer, Ascender. The deliverable is in .TTF format. The files were converted into .SFD format and hosted as open source project on fedorahosted.org. Unfortunately, along the project runs, there are bug reports of hinting problem on certain characters. This has raised me the following needs of info/knowledge: - - Is there anyone in fedora community who could provide helpful info on how to manage a high quality hinting? - - Which free hinting tools are available other than fontforge? - - Where could I find resources of hinting instructions? Precisely, full specs of hinting instructions, such as parameter explanation of all hinting instructions - - If a CVT table has no comments on each value, do I have to do reverse engineering and how should I begin? As Mailhot's previous emails on new font packaging guidelines, he often let us refer to Dejavu Fonts. I am wondering if I could catch up any of Dejavu devs who don't mind kindly provide valuable info of hinting? Thank you very much for reading.
