ttf2cxf

[mondalaci]

Hi guys,

I'd like to use the ttf2cxf utility but I cannot find it anywhere. Please help me out!

Thanks,
Laci

Please have a look here to download the source code and here for the usage.

Bye

I've already checked the download link that you offered and the FTP request takes forever and never completes.

That link works for me, so your problem is not the link itself. Maybe something related to your Internet access?

You're absolutely right! It didn't work from Hungary but it did work from the UK. Does RibbonSoft block Hungary?

I could download the tarball but I got a library related error upon execution even if I install (the deprecated) libstdc++.so.5:

./ttf2cxf: error while loading shared libraries: libstdc++.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

The output of make neither looks encouraging:

g++ -o ttf2cxf -I/usr/include/freetype2 -lfreetype main.cpp
main.cpp: In function ‘int conicTo(FT_Vector*, FT_Vector*, void*)’:
main.cpp:92: error: ‘pow’ was not declared in this scope
main.cpp: In function ‘FT_Error convertGlyph(FT_ULong)’:
main.cpp:152: warning: format ‘%04X’ expects type ‘unsigned int’, but argument 3 has type ‘FT_ULong’
make: *** [all] Error 1

I had posted this problem on linuxquestions.org <http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/programming-9/compile-and-install-from-a-tarball-878364/>
I copied the arial.ttf font file to the same directory as the binary, ttf2cxf, which in my case is a folder /ttf2cxf/ttf2cxf-0.0.0.1-src
Since I have a 32 bit system it seems that the binary should work as is. After correcting a missing lib file, this is the result of trying to run the command

charley@mint-2 ~/ttf2cxf/ttf2cxf-0.0.0.1-src $ ./ttf2cxf arial.ttf arial.cxf
TTF file: arial.ttf
CXF file: arial.cxf
FT_New_Face: Unknown error
Segmentation fault

What is a "Segmentation fault"? Obviously I'm doing something wrong --any ideas what it is?

Oops!! I had inadvertently put my ttf file into the wrong directory-- corrected this and the program works fine.
