万事开头难，所以就先开了这么个头 Font Industry 字体工业Copyright (c) Hashao 2007 License: GNU GPL version 3 or later. Please see the included LICENSE file. 字体制造的工业化革命 Font Industry industrialize procedure of the big charset font production. It free the big charset font creation from artists' studio into the average John's basement. The font market will be flooded with huge amount of cheap, low quality, big charset, hand script fonts in no time. Be scared! Be very scared! What does Font Industry really do? The program converts a scanned in grid sheet containing a lot of glyphs into a bitmap font. The glyphs will be automatically indexed with unicode. That's it. The bitmap font format used is the fontforge .sfd. An outline font (TTF, OpenType/OTF) can then be generated using fontforge's autotrace function. A separated grid sheet template package is provided. Dependency- Python >=2.4
- Pygtk
- Pygoocanvas: GooCanvas python binding. python-pygoocanvas in Debian.
- Python-gconf. (On Debian box, it's included in the python-gnome2 package now)
- Python Imaging Library (called python-imaging in Debian). http://www.pythonware.com/products/pil/
Of course you should also have: - Pens
- Paper
- Scanner (For bulk scanning job, a scanner with Auto Document Feeder is recommended. Some Multi-Function Printers will come with one.)
