I do not understand what is the outcome in the end if you have finished your

this kind of TT-Font you ar working on cannot simply be installed as a new font

what will be the difference in our daily work with delegs or SignPuddle if you

design/graphic as well on teh screen as well as on printouts at any seize. ??? Would
love to understand that. Do we have to install anything on our computer at home
or is everything already arranged somewhere on your server? Can you show a demo

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

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=3 color=black face="Times New Roman"><span
style='font-size:12.0pt'>Hi Bill,<br>
<br>
FontForge was having trouble importing the SVG Refinement because the symbols
were too small and too irregular. Enlarging the SVG Refinement by itself
wasn't enough. With the custom work that Adam Frost and I did putting the
SVG Refinement together, the SVGs were valid for display, but FontForge choked
on some weird issues. This isn't an issue with the SVG Refinement, but
with the FontForge import.<br>
<br>
Luckily, Inkscape is able to understand the SVG Refinement without any
issues. A series of conversions later and I have a new SVG set that is
enlarged and more regular. The FontForge results will be much
better with the new SVG set.<br>
<br>
The SVG Line conversion has been running for the past 4 hours and the hands are
almost complete. No crashing. A few more hours and I will be able
to produce an accurate TrueType font. I am very excited.<br>
<br>
Then I need to run the whole conversion a few more times for the filling and
then for the shadow. There are a couple of other cleanup issues where
I'll need to run partial conversions. I should have all of the source
images done this week.<br>
<br>
After I have the symbol glyphs accurately importing into FontForge, I can focus
on some of the TrueType properties that deal with alignment and other such
issues.<br>
<br>
Regards,<br>
-Steve<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
