Python: font.generate not outputting glyph data to BDF #5033
Comments
ok, immediately found the cause: The font has to have a selection. The selected glyphs are included in the generated BDF.
Will close this issue, and leave the solution for posterity! |
Reopening as it's not documented in |
Note: I'm not sure if it's |
Don't worry, I'm sure enough for both of us. The call tree looks like fontforge/fontforge/bitmapcontrol.c Line 262 in 566b261

Why? |
I am loading a TTF font, generating bitmap strikes, then saving as BDF.
The resulting BDF file has the header data, but does not contain any glyphs.
I assume I am using the
generate
command incorrectly, but the docs there are extremely light.This is a cut-down snippet of my script:
If required, the original TTF and the generated BDF are attached: kiwisoda_ttf_to_bdf.zip
