That sounds great! I'm guessing that the SVG Refinement didn't
have enough points or curves to provide a solution without
retracing?<br>

Hi List,<br>
<br>
I have several prototype TrueType fonts. About 10% or more have
moderate to severe quality issues. With a 16-bit font of 37,811
glyphs, that is a lot of cleanup to do manually.<br>
<br>
The first image is the SVG Refinement. The second is the
prototype TrueType Font.<br>

<br>
<br>
Rather than fixing thousands of symbols by hand, I created an
automated solution by increasing the image size and retracing the
SVG. My new import has the proper shape and thickness for all
symbols.<br>
<br>
The first image is the original PNG. The second is the SVG
Refinement. The third is my new TrueType font.<br>

<br>
<br>
The automated process should take a few days. I'm hoping my iMac
can handle the processing demands. I have everything configured,
tested, and ready to automate.<br>
<br>
Step 1: Use Inkscape to convert the SVG Refinement graphics into
PNG images at 10 times normal size.<br>
<br>
Step 2: Use pnttopnm and mkbitmap to reformat the images into
different file types.<br>
<br>
Step 3: Use potrace to read the PBM files and recreate the SVG<br>
<br>
I need to create and package about a half a million files. It
should take me a few days to run the automated scripts.<br>
<br>
Last time I traced the ISWA 2010, my Linux computer had memory
leaks and could only process a few thousand at a time before
crashing. I couldn't resolve the crashing issue, so I just kept
restarting my computer. This time, I hope my iMac is up to the
job. <br>
<br>
Regards,<br>
∼Steve
