Advice on SVG to TTF conversions (already googled)
Posted: Wed Jan 25, 2012 4:40 pm
Hello. In trying to convert the SVG files an artist friend of mine has drawn up for a font into TTF format, I did my homework, googled for SVG2TTF and have found http://tinkerhouse.net/log/python-fontf ... a-godsend/ and http://www.orakeldel.net/downloads/svg2ttf.py. The former actually worked with some tweaking, but I have one problem:
Circles in the SVG are being converted into contours that are defined by four off-curve points sitting at the four corners of the bounding box of the circle. This doesn't look like a real circle though! I have noted that circles in TTF fonts (which has only quadratic splines to my little knowledge) are defined by a number of on-curve and off-curve points. I do not know however how to get the script to convert the SVG circle to a proper TTF circle. Can anyone help?
If there are any other ways of better converting a set of SVG files to a single TTF could anyone please advise? Thanks.
