|
DEPENDENCIES
|
|
RoboFab expects fontTools to be installed.
|
|
http://sourceforge.net/projects/fonttools/
|
|
Some of the RoboFab modules require data files
|
|
that are included in the source directory.
|
|
RoboFab likes to be able to calculate paths
|
|
to these data files all by itself, so keep them
|
|
together with the source files.

QUOTES
|
|
Yuri Yarmola:
|
|
"If data is somehow available to other programs
|
|
via some standard data-exchange interface which
|
|
can be accessed by some library in Python, you
|
|
can make a Python script that uses that library
|
|
to apply data to a font opened in FontLab."
|
|
|
|
W.A. Dwiggins:
|
|
"You will understand that I am not trying to
|
|
short-circuit any of your shop operations in
|
|
sending drawings of this kind. The closer I can
|
|
get to the machine the better the result.
|
|
Subtleties of curves are important, as you know,
|
|
and if I can make drawings that can be used in
|
|
the large size I have got one step closer to the
|
|
machine that cuts the punches." [1932]
