Inkscape to FontForge tip
Today on the FontForge mailing list, someone asked “if there is a way to scale a glyph to fit it in a bounding box” and George Williams replied with this script, in FontForge’s own scripting language:
cur_bbox = GlyphInfo("BBox")
Move(-cur_bbox[0],-cur_bbox[1])
Scale(desired_width/(cur_bbox[2]-cur_bbox[1]),
desired_height/(cur_bbox[3]-cur_bbox[1]))
Move(desired_x,desired_y)This is really useful for importing arbitrary SVG shapes drawn in Inkscape into FontForge!
