Of course I now have a 39 quid piece of software and no use for it, as all the fonts I wanted to convert were Ornamental types.
That is a pity. I wonder if the maximum number of path elements that the Acorn font manager can handle was increased in later versions of RISC OS, I can imagine that as they moved to Unicode support the characters got more complex.
I can remember hitting the limit in the distant past, so it must have been a known problem.
The other obvious point, harking back to what I said yesterday, did someone come up with a type of "compression" that smoothed out curves so that they needed less segments.
I never remember anyone saying "there are no ornamental fonts available for RISC OS".
I will grant you that getting around the problems may be too hard.Have you mentioned to whoever you bought the software off that it won't do what you want?
