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 ?
- 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)
- Anyone know the legal ramifications of tracing glyphs? It's
alluded to on fontforge's web page.
Good question :)
- 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
