zoltan-dulac / css3fontconverter Goto Github PK

When I run the script on linux, stylesheet.css is generated on the user’s root folder. Maybe the output path could be added as an option?

After installation of cygwin 220 i added a directory css3Font to the cygwin-home and copied some ttf files into c:\cygwin64\home\w1, where also css3Fontconverter resides, but i get the bash - answer after change into that directory : convertFonts.sh not found .
"ls" shows the file - and i have all win10-rights.
"type convertFonts.sh" gives the same not-found - error
---- i changed then to the win10 - cmd , but EOTFAST-1.exe somefont.ttf a.woff (also other formats) gave me (successfully written) several fonts, which are completely unreadable by fontforge.

Do we really need java?!

what to do :/

Hi @zoltan-dulac ,

Checking some forks made from this package, I noticed @raldred has made some significant improvements to the codebase at https://github.com/raldred/css3FontConverter. Could you please view his 3 additional commits in his fork and bring them in, to this original package?

I'm attempting to convert a 20mb font, and it produces ~20mb files in every format. Is there a way to only convert a subset of the font (eg. only uppercase and lowercase)?

I was able to do this with fontforge using these instructions, but it would be nice to have a cleaner way to do it.

A run with "autohint=adobe" failed to do any autohinting. A quick test with the command line parameters in the script gave this result:

autohint -q -o foobar-Calendas_Plus.otf Calendas_Plus.otf Hinting font Calendas_Plus.otf. Start time: Mon Aug 18 23:32:15 2014. Traceback (most recent call last): File "/Users/xxx/bin/FDK/Tools/osx/../SharedData/FDKScripts/autohint.py", line 1343, in <module> main() File "/Users/xxx/bin/FDK/Tools/osx/../SharedData/FDKScripts/autohint.py", line 1333, in main hintFile(options) File "/Users/xxx/bin/FDK/Tools/osx/../SharedData/FDKScripts/autohint.py", line 1073, in hintFile fdGlyphDict, fontDictList = fontData.getfdInfo(psName, path, options.allow_no_blues, options.noFlex, options.vCounterGlyphs, options.hCounterGlyphs, glyphList) File "/opt/local/libexec/FDK/Tools/SharedData/FDKScripts/BezTools.py", line 1345, in getfdInfo fdDict = self.getFontInfo(fontPSName, inputPath, allow_no_blues, noFlex, vCounterGlyphs, hCounterGlyphs, fdIndex) File "/opt/local/libexec/FDK/Tools/SharedData/FDKScripts/BezTools.py", line 1290, in getFontInfo raise ACFontError("Error: font has neither StemSnapV nor StdVW!") NameError: name 'ACFontError' is not defined

Currently, if using ttfautohint, the script bails when set on *.otf fonts. Why? The next step is to convert the OpenType fonts to TrueType anyway, which then gets passed to ttfauohint.

I get this issue during the conversion .otf > .ttf:

SetFontNames: Invalid character in PostScript name token (probably fontname): : /freefont-gnu/FreeSerifBoldItalic

FreeSerifBoldItalic actually doesn’t exist. I just have FreeSerifBoldItalic.otf. Maybe the issue comes from this name?

Hey @zoltan-dulac :

As I was working with certain fonts from Google WebFonts, I noticed you are missing certain font name prefixes when convertFonts.sh is determining the numeric value for font-weight CSS property.

As a basis, let's look at OpenSans fonts: https://github.com/google/fonts/tree/master/apache/opensans

As you can see, this font has SemiBold variants. Your blog at:

http://www.useragentman.com/blog/2013/09/20/better-web-typography-with-font-weight-autohinting-and-font-feature-settings/#comment-911845

does list only DemiBold with weight value of 600. I believe SemiBold also should be treated with the same value.

Additionally, your table in that blog-post also mentions ExtraBold with font-weight value 800. However when I converting OpenSans, I got following CSS output:

@font-face {
  font-family: 'OpenSans';
  src: url('public/fonts/opensans/OpenSans-ExtraBold.eot?') format('eot'),
       url('public/fonts/opensans/OpenSans-ExtraBold.woff2') format('woff2'),
       url('public/fonts/opensans/OpenSans-ExtraBold.woff') format('woff'),
       url('public/fonts/opensans/OpenSans-ExtraBold.ttf')  format('truetype');
  font-weight: 700;
  font-style: normal;
}

As you can see the font-weight value in the output is 700 instead of 800. Is this a bug?

That's it for the moment. Thanks a lot for such a wonderful tool! :)

I have a font called 'Playlist Script.otf'. When I pass it to the script (./convertFonts.sh 'Playlist Script.otf'), I get an error One of the files you want to convert (Playlist) is not a file. Bailing.

#.. If this is an OTF Font, then convert it to TTF. if [ "$IS_OTF" = "0" ] then if [ ! -f $FIL E_STUB.ttf ] then toTTF $NEW_FILE fi NEW_FILE="$FILE_STUB.ttf" fi

The space in if [ ! -f $FILE_STUB.ttf ] should be removed.
