Just one question so far: when the manual says

# make check: This will "normalize" the font files, and
# check them for problems. Look at the output of this
# command to see if there are any problems. There should
# only be lines like Checking tmp/DejaVu###.sfd.norm at the
# end of the output.

should I just type "make check" while in my working
directory or should I append a file name?

Sorry for my cygwin noob questions!  I used to be a pioneer
making my own philological fonts on the Macintosh,
but that's been a while!
