Probably best to do the renaming upstream. You'll still have to retain the OFL-RFN but the official name of the font will not be a RFN so Debian and other distros will be free to patch as needed. > The *-TTF.sfd files were the exact TTFs in SFD format, so generating them > more or less directly should do that; the export would need a few 'default' > flags, like this: It would be nice if Google could standardise on font source formats and font build tools so that re-distributors would have an easier time. I would suggest using UFO for the source format is probably best. Not sure about build tools but I guess Python things such as Google's fonttools are probably the most portable across Win/Mac/Linux. -- bye, pabs https://wiki.debian.org/PaulWise
