This will generate a file such as PowerlineForNotoSansMono.ttf.Run for f in PowerlineFor*.sfd do fontforge -script ~/work/nerd-fonts/font-patcher -powerline -powerlineextra -ext ttf $f done.The files created in this way for the current set of fonts used by terminal are checked into terminal/fonts.

The nerd-fonts patching script will use this information to patch the empty font file and produce glyphs of the correct width and height. Create a single glyph in the empty file at position 0 by clicking on it to select it, then choosing Metrics > Set Width and enter the width.

Open the full font to match in FontForge and find the following information.Set font name fields in Element > Font Info > PS Names. Values for width and height must be copied from the actual font into this file before we use nerd fonts to patch it.

Install FontForge - sudo apt install fontforge.While the same Powerline glyphs are used for each web font, they must be sized to match the height and width of the corresponding monospaced font they are being used with. Our approach is different, to only generate the Powerline glyphs in a separate *.woff2 web font, and then list both fonts in the css font list. This seems to also be the common way they are used for the web. The typical way of using Powerline fonts, is to patch glyphs into an existing font file (e.g. Another 30 or so ‘Powerline Extra Smbols’ have been defined in the same PUA block which have been included. Powerline uses 6 or so symbol glyphs such as anchor, pencil, arrows, and 7 glyphs in the unicode Private Use Area starting at U+E0A0. The fonts were created using Nerd Fonts which uses FontForge python scripting. All alternate characters that you made for a character should appear on Illustrator or another program that supports Open Type features.Powerline glyphs are included for the fonts listed above. Step 6: Move the aalt lookup to the top selecting it and pressing Top. Step 5: Add new lookup: Add Lookup>Type: Alternate Substitution>Feature: click down arrow and select aalt Access All Alternates> OK. For Replacement Glyph Names click and write ALL the alternate characters you made separated with a space in the same line (eg: a.alt1 a.alt2 a.alt3).

Add subtable>OK>įor Base Glyph Name click and write the og character (eg: a). Step 4: Add new subtable inside the lookup. Step 3: Go to Element>Font Info>Lookups>GSUB and then create a new lookup:Īdd Lookup>Type: Alternate Substitution>Feature: salt (click on down arrow and click on "salt Stylistic Substitution")> OK.

(for an "s" it would be "s.alt1" and "s.alt2") If you are making two alternate characters for an "a" name them "a.alt1" and "a.alt2". Step 2: Name the new glyphs with the alternate sufix "alt". Step 1: Add new glyph slots for the amount of new characters you want. So if you're making more than one alternate character you've to create another feature to access all alternate characters called "Access All Alternates" (aalt). Ok, so I've downloaded fontlab and figured out how it's done.

I don't know if the problem has to something to do considering that those alternate options don't have a unicode code or what. I did link just for a test the lowercase "a" with two other random alphabet glyphs (e.g an "e" and "r") but when I try to do this with new glyphs I've added manually it doesn't work. (you select a character and alternative glyphs for that character appears). In illustrator should look like image two. The idea is when exporting the font you could choose those two extra options too. So, I have as it appears on first image two "a" (bottom right) that are alternative characters to main "a". So, I've spent around 10 hours between yesterday and today trying to figure out some way to add some alternative characters to some glyphs/characters in a font I'm creating.
