Multi language handwrite?

Open alBronko opened this issue 2 years ago • 1 comments

First, thank you so much for this project. Amazing.

Is there a short manual for adding a language/set of characters and creating a bilingual font? specifically an RTL language?

Hey, thanks @alBronko

We aren't working actively on handwrite but adding other languages would require a new form and typography data as well.

There's currently no support for that.

A hack that might work (if you have a specific use case), is to fill the English form with other language characters. The font generated should be useable as we don't do any character validation, and will work with character mapped from form -> the characters written. This is just a hack incase you want to use it.

For RTL languages, we'll have to look into how https://github.com/fontforge/fontforge works with them.
