Stateless build of the special font file Keep the glyphs in SVG format and build the font using a FontForge script. A part of the previous font is kept because the sources is lost. This adds a new dependency to the build system, fontforge. 2022-03-17 20:08:26 +01:00			`# The special font is used for the symbols of some keys. It is built from SVG`

Build all special glyphs from SVG Recover the provenance of each glyphs and remove the base_font.ttf file. 2022-03-18 12:24:29 +01:00			`New()`

Remove build dependency on Fontforge The required version of fontforge (from 2020!) is not available in many distros. This is an annoying for contributors and greatly complicated the CI and F-Droid scripts. The generated font file is now included in the sources. Fontforge is still needed when adding new glyphs but this is not a common operation. 2022-04-24 20:52:36 +02:00			`i = 1`

Improve glyphs for accents The accents are taken from the Roboto Regular font (Apache 2.0), added the dotted circle and exported with FontForge. The argument to FontForge's Import function are changed, the fifth argument controls the accuracy and needed to be lowered otherwise the grave accent wouldn't be rendered at all. 2022-03-24 23:55:20 +01:00			`Import($argv[i], 0, 0, 4.0, 0.1)`
Add glyphs for accent keys The "dotted circle" character combined with the accent was badly rendered on many devices. 2022-03-18 17:31:23 +01:00			`AutoWidth(150)`
