Christoph, what was the exact procedure needed to convert obtain the
sfdir format from the inconsolata font? Is there any data lost in the
process?
For Inconsolata I created the fontforge sources from the available
truetype formats, which were the ones most up-to-date
(http://git.io/vWePO). Exact procedure: opening with fontforge save as
sfdir. When preparing files for fontain.org I prefer sfd/sfdir, ufo,
otf, ttf in this this order. The vbf sources often available are
exclusive to FontLab, as far as I know.
IMPORTANT: main incentive for fontain.org is the possibility to export
fonts to necessary formats, e.g. for use with LaTeX, in a easy way and
create a interface to browse converted fonts. Collecting the sources is
a side effect and I try my best to have the versions in the repository
up-to-date (already not true for Inconsolata). Therefore the sources
should not be considered a 'fork' but a 'mirror'.
Best regards,
Christoph
