Here's a first version of an sfd2ttf tool based on fontforge-20051205. You can dwonload it from [1].
Great work!
It consists of 5 files (with Makefile) and has a size of 500K. There's still some dead code lying around, I think I can bring it down to 300K-400K. Is this acceptable?
I think it should be, and will help you to bring it in line with Alexandre's wishes where possible. He's on holiday in Greece at the moment, so you might have a to wait a bit for his comments.
TTF generation was a bit harder. I decided to output TrueType, with bitmap tables from OpenType. The others ttf variations (full OpenType or even aat (Apple Advanced Typography)) are not supported, as it would make the tool a lot bigger (factor 2-5 or so) and i believe it's not needed (right?).
I'm really no font expert, so any comment is welcome.
Seems reasonable, but I'm not a font expert either.
