Thanks. to make the process clearer next time, given that I need to modify the font again, I just need to: 1. modify the font on fontforge say 2. convert the font to ttx and diff both the original ttx and the modified ttx and pick up only the glyph updated 3. apply the patch at the build time as you attached Should this process work? Fixed in sazanami-fonts-0.20040629-9.fc13. re: 1-3: yeah, exactly. That's all that I did. Great. thanks! |
Created attachment 363657 [details] alternative approach that self-documents our changes As described in rhbz#461617 we have a modified sazanami-fonts tarball that differs from the original. Apparently to change the 0x7E6B glyph in the Gothic and Mincho fonts according to rhbz##196433 Attached is a suggestion to use the original tarball and modify it during the build to swap in the two desired replacement glyphs using the ttx tool from fontutils. I don't have strong feelings about this one way or the other, but I feel this might be a rather "neater" and self-documenting mechanism to solving the original problem ?
