Need help with FontForge? Write our mailing list! sourceforge.net/p/fontforge/ma… Of course, you may also tweet 😀 Have a reproducible bug, not a question? Report it! github.com/fontforge/font… Either way, please always include your OS, FontForge version, and an SFD file if applicable.

By "SVG font", FontForge means the outmoded SVG 1.1 standard, *not* SVG-in-OpenType, a type of OpenType font which contains SVG files for its glyphs, which it cannot yet create. And, even its SVG 1.1 support has issues, cf. e.g. github.com/fontforge/font…. Workarounds below.

If you've ever tried to use FontForge in Wine you may have found you had no keyboard input. A workaround is now available: github.com/fontforge/font… One shouldn't need FontForge in Wine, this is mostly of interest to developers or those wanting to use Windows-only Python code.
