Hi, next week i have quite some (travel)time i have to kill, so i thought maybe i could use the time to add tahoma font to wine (needed for Steam). I played around a bit with fontforge and a basically i think i get how to create fonts, and add them to wine. However, i'm not sure what the legal way is to do this; if i import the windows Tahoma.TTF into fontforge it seems the .sfd is already generated but i guess it's not legal to add that to wine. Anyone could help me with a quick (and clear) HOWTO ?
1. What happened to the ROS version of Tahoma?
I didn't know they had one. Could someone ask if it exists (and could be merged)
2. Anyone know the legal ramifications of tracing glyphs? It's alluded to on fontforge's web page.
Good question :)
3. Why not look for a replacement someone else has already done and ask permission for usage?
As far as i understand up to now Wine's (eventual) Tahoma font should be more or less identical to Windows Tahoma font. I don't think anyone has ever taken the effort to create a font that looks (exactly) the same as Windows Tahoma, because (outside wine )that doesn't really make sense , does it
