So would installing the RO5 Fontmanger on this 4.39 sort things? And is it
available separately from RO5?

Thanks, Mike. Just for information, I tried dropping it into both DrFonty
and FontEd, and both complain about there being more than 255 characters.
Of course I don't understand the implications of this. ;-)

Thanks very much for your efforts, Michael. I've installed the above, and
everything is working fine now.
Keep the fonts coming - I can never get enough. ;-)

I'm glad that you appreciate the effort (and the fonts) I'll probably be doing Exo (http://www.ndiscovered.com/index.php/exo-font-family) as my next project. I may also mirror a copy of the Quicksand translation from piLEARN (given the license, that should be OK) simply so that all available conversions can be available in one place. Also, I'm using Google Webfonts (http://www.google.com/webfonts) and Font Squirrel (http://www.fontsquirrel.com/) as discovery tools. If folks want to have a look at what's available for conversion and make requests those would be the sites to look at. Mike

Just another update. I've posted my conversion of the Exo family, a futuristic sans face with nine weights (Thin to Black) and an italic for each (18 total fonts) As always, the font is available at the site (https://sites.google.com/site/riscosfonts/) and comments are welcome. Also, would people prefer that I keep announcements of new font postings in this thread or would they prefer that I start creating new threads for new fonts? Mike

I bet they are not. ;-) Installed it and had a play. Sorry sport... What's futuristic about the Exo font? It's just a usual, boring old bog standard type sans serif font. A lot of the sub weights are really a waste of effort, too thin, too weedy, why bother? Find something new, unusual or exciting to convert and I'll give you a round of applause. :-) D. PS: At larger sizes, as one would use in a title or similar, some of the characters are not well formed. -- Dave Triffid

A number of times I've wished a font had more than three weights! Seven does not sound excessive to me.

It looks different enough from any of the other similar ones I have to be
worth it.

I've tried that and now get another error with Netsurf. The log file shows
this for virtually all the Cabin fonts:-

No, that is not the problem. The NetSurf error occurs even if there is
no Messages1 file in the directory. Besides, the only consequence of
an outdated Messages1 file that I am aware of is that the font is not
seen at all.

Yes - installed that way followed by a rescan. What is the Messages1 file?

I'm glad to hear that my conversion seems to work for most people. I'm debating what I should convert next? Part of me wants to do Roboto (another super-complete Sans Serif family) but another part of me wants to do a serifed face. Any favorite open/free fonts that folks would like converted?

I was going to suggest Quicksand, the font that the Raspberry Pi has adopted, but then checked and found Martin Hansen has already converted it for RiscOS: www.pilearn.com/Pages/Page0004.html -- Jim Nagel www.archivemag.co.uk >> "from" address is genuine but will change. website has current one.

I'm wondering if the problems that Dave is having might come from the fact that I'm using !ttf2f for my conversions. Apparently, the fonts it produces are optimized for RISC OS 5, though the fact that my Cabin conversion has worked for others in RISC OS 4/6 indicates that the problem might be a bit more complex than that. Maybe I should add a PayPal donate button and try to raise to funds to buy a copy of !effTTT ;) Mike
