[FM Discuss] font gurus?

[adam hyde]

hi

Any font gurus out there? I have an EPS (sent to me) & I want to convert
to a ttf to make a libre font which we can eventually use.

I am having a lot of trouble getting smooth glyphs as I am starting with
an EPS but I cant import nicely into fontforge. If I cut up the EPS with
scribus and export again to EPS and then import into fontforge then it
works BUT I get all kinds of weirdness caused by overlapping paths in
the original glyph. I have tried combining paths etc but it excludes
areas that overlap :((

I have also tried different combinations of exporting to svg and eps,
importing into Inkscape, exporting to both EPS and SVG and then
importing into fontforge and the results look good on small scale but if
you zoom in there is all sorts of rubbish on the glyph

i tired converting to png, pdf, ps...etc etc etc ... nada...

anyone know a clean way to take a single EPS which contains all
characters for the font, and import it cleanly into fontforge?

do we ever need a manual on how to make a font...eieieieie...
