What's the legal status of this font? I gather it's free for use, according to some sources even for commercial use. But that doesn't necessarily mean you're allowed to distribute modified versions of the font, as Hemisphere does. Did you find any more detailed licensing document that grants such ri...

Is this the same font (although a different version)? Visually it looks the same. File size is much smaller, though, so I assume it might contain fewer glyphs. For those unwilling to (install and) use a hex editor, I can suggest the following bash snippet: echo -n $'\x5d\x19\xc3\x5c' | dd of=Fortun...

Or if you prefer a hex editor over a python interpreter, and your hex editor can insert bytes (at 0x886f): 00000000 00 01 00 00 00 11 01 00 00 04 00 10 4c 54 53 48 |............LTSH| -00000010 7a 91 64 25 00 00 8c 43 00 00 00 f8 4f 53 2f 32 |z.d%...C....OS/2| +00000010 7a 91 64 25 00 00 8c 44 00 00 ...

Perhaps you want to be even more compliant with the TTF spec, and therefore want to fix those alignment problems and the overall file checksum as well. To do so, you can pas the font through the following Python script after making the adjustment outlined above . This will increase the font size by ...

⋅  The glyf table cannot reasonably be any longer, because it's immediately followed by the OS/2 table at 0x5b8c . I got that wrong, dont't know how. The table length of the glyf table in the header seems to be incorrect, but there is no overlap. So take a hex editor and change these byte...

OK, I had a look at a two TTF specs ( one from Apple , the other from Microsoft ) and compated that with FortuneCity.ttf in a hex editor. I have to agree that the font is in fact in violation to the specification: ⋅  The glyf table starts at 0x7f8 and has length 0x5394 according to the tab...

After changing the sound mixer levels in Osmos 1.6.0 for Linux, at the next restart the sound was completely disabled. Backing up my ~/.Osmos directory, a newly created profile came back with sound. Diffing these two directories I found that the mixer levels in the broken profile were stored using '...

Started a new thread about my investigation of this font loading error message.

Osmos 1.6.0 for Linux (both demo and full version) won't load the font with freetype 2.4.3, resulting in an application basically lacking all text. Freetype 2.4.2 used to work for me, which led me to file a bug with my distro. The Gentoo developer Ryan Hill has pointed out, though, that the font its...
