I think I told you already in a previous mail:
. Copy all MF files and mf2pt1.mp to a new directory.
. Copy mf2pt1.pl to the same directory.
. Generate mf2pt1.mem with
mpost -progname=mpost -ini mf2pt1 \\dump
That's it.
To create a DVI file for feta20, say
mf '\mode:=proof; input feta20'
gftodvi feta20.2602gf
To create an unhinted PFB with overlapping contours and a lot of extra
points for feta20, say
FONTFORGE=foo perl mf2pt1.pl --rounding=0.0001 feta20
To create a hinted, optimized PFB for feta20, say
perl mf2pt1.pl --rounding=0.0001 feta20
Hey Max, hey Werner,
Any news on the arrowed accidentals? Would be very cool indeed if they could make it into 2.12!
