OcticonsV10Font

GitHub Octicons V10

See fontinfo for more information on the font table

Fonts are under sfd, otf, ttf and woff2

OcticonsNF_MIN_Copy.sfd is the font I use to patch webfonts as it contains the glyphs that I do/ foresee using. These will play nice with nerd fonts generated with any of the fonts under the above directories.

Font generation

I will probably use some scripts for this next time but exporting 6 fonts twice didn't take too long to do manually

SFD, OTF, TTF and WOFF2

.sfd is the format used by fontforge

.otf is widely supported though in most cases you should use ttf

.ttf is widely supported as has recently been argued to be superior to cff otf (still uses open type)

.woff2 to provide web support. Most browsers support this format

FontForge Challenges and workarounds

FontForge has had some significant challenges importing svgs. The workaround is as follows:

Preferred

1. Install the following: inkscape (any), imagemagik (linux/wsl), potrace (linux/wsl)
2. Run inkscape.com [icon].svg -w 160 -y 255 -o [icon].png for each svg
3. Run convert [icon].png [icon].bmp
4. Run potrace [icon].bmp -s -o [icon].svg
5. Remove [icon].png and [icon].bmp

To do this all in one go, run batchProcessLinux.py in linux or wsl.

Alternative 1

1. Run inkscape.com -g --batch-process [icon].svg --verb='EditSelectAll;SelectionUnion;FileSave' for each svg file
2. Import into FontForge

Alternative 2

1. Open the svg in Inkscape
2. Copy the svg to FontForge
3. For 16x16 svgs, scale uniformly by 6250% and move by x=492, y=-492
4. Metrics set width to 1000 and then metrics centre in width
