This means either on the zero-width, or offset a common distance to the left or right depending on script direction. You can donate to support the project financially.

That said, I greatly prefer to keep things tidy, and to have the mark anchor in a consistent x position relative to 0,0 across all combining mark glyphs. FontForge is a free and open source font editor brought to you by a community of fellow type lovers. This article will start with the basic problem of converting a picture of a letter into an outline image (used in most computer fonts). Technically, if one is relying on anchors-either within the font tool to build composites or in layout via OpenType Layout GPOS anchor attachment positioning-the position of the anchor relative to the 0,0 coordinate of the glyph space is irrelevant: so long as the anchor position relative to the outline is where you want it to be for mark positioning purposes, it can be arbitrarily placed relative to 0,0. FontForge is an open source program which allows the creation and modication of fonts in many standard formats. Using this kind of anchor alignment, one then optically positions the outline across the zero-width in the way one wants it to be aligned relative to base letters with the top anchor. The actual anchor used with this mark is the _top one, which you note is aligned to the (diagonal: this is from an italic font) zero-width. It is an artifact in that master layer that I didn’t spot and remove before making the screenshot. In your image, is "center" is the anchor point of zero-width glyph ( seem like above base )? ThanksIgnore that _center anchor. Other OP problem is Linux and a shitty Linux application.And if you don't place the zero-width glyph( below base ) in the right place you can use mark to Base ( GPOS ) anchor point to position the glyph under preceding glyph, right?. OP's problem is, he talks in px instead of em. How can I reduce the height of a BDF font? AFAIK, FontForge only allows you to set the width of a font. However, its line spacing is too wide, and I'd like to reduce it by 4 pixels.

Both these, of course, require correction of the metrics and if you have not done it carefully not only the vertical metrics but also the horizontal, the advance widths.įor what the OP wants the solution lies in changing the vertical metrics so that the white space above and under the glyphs is the same: Changing the units per em leads to the same effect as scaling maintaining aspect ratio. To change the height of the glyphs you would need to scale the height to a percentage under 100% while maintaining the width of the glyphs to 100% which causes a deformation of the glyphs. Then each letter has the following format and I suppose that I should edit the BBOX property:īBX 8 10 0 -2 // <- This should become BBX 8 6 0 -2 (cut 4 pixels) PIXEL_SIZE 21 // <- This should become 17 (cut 4 pixels), right?įONT_ASCENT 17 // <- This should become 13 (cut 4 pixels), right? Here are the relevant lines from the BDF header section (my comments are preceded by //):įONTBOUNDINGBOX 8 16 0 -5 // <- This should become 8 12 0 -5 (cut 4 pixels), right? However, I hope there are free tools out there to accomplish this goal. In case any user here is knowledgeable about the BDF format, I've attached the lines that seem relevant to my objective.

FontForge is available for several operating systems and is localized in several languages.

However, it seems to me that there is redundancy among properties, hence I suppose you have to propagate each change carefully. Fontforge is free software and is distributed under the BSD license. I've opened the BDF file with a text editor to look for properties to change. Moreover, the letters are off-center vertically: I should move them 3 pixels towards the top, but this is not necessary.

I've downloaded a font in Windows FON format which I liked and I converted it to BDF to use it on Linux.

I know very little about font editing, as I only download free fonts and once a while I fix them by using FontForge.
