I now understand I can:
* Use fontforge ascii file or unified font object to describe glyphs using a text file;
FontForge can read and write unified font object (UFO) files too.
* Use some other tool to create an image for a glyph and then use a tracer to make it into an ouline description for a glyph;
* Use fontforge to add OpenType specific tunning.
Using those options, can I do everything I want with fonts? Like japanese kanji, or arabic text where the shape of a glyph depends on next and previous ones?
You can do virtually every thing, I use FontForge mainly for Arabic fonts. Regards, Khaled -- Khaled Hosny Arabic localiser and member of Arabeyes.org team Free font developer
