[Ming-users] creating fdb fonts

[rat <r...@ra...>]

dear list

has anyone successfully created his own fdb fonts with ttf2fft and makefd=
b?

we have problems converting a ttf including special chars
(like =E9 =E4 =F1 ) to a fdb file. we don't know in which conversion the=20
characters get lost - from ttf/fft or fft/fdb.
we have tried the roman and unicode parameter: with roman the special=20
chars get lost, with unicode all characters, even normal ones, turn into=20
funny shapes.

is there more documentation on ttf2fft then in the ming wiki? :
http://www.opaque.net/wiki/index.php?ttf2fft

does anyone have a hint as to what we could try next?

does anyone know where one could get working .fdb files from the websave=20
fonts that ship with any os (verdana bold in particular)?

thanks for your replies and kind regards
roman
