I just purchased a family of fonts - Wastrel - from myfonts.com
It's a nice serif script family, has a bunch of fonts in the family - but unfortunaly, they are not named correctly which results in a ton of fonts in the font menu.
For example -
Wastrel is named Wastrel, Style Regular
Wastrel Bold name Wastrel Bold, Style Regular.
It should be named Wastrel, Style Bold.
Is there a (preferably cli) tool I can use to modify the name and style that a font represents itself as?
appear in the font menus - and have the bold/oblique/bold-oblique/light/ligh-oblique versions be
styles of those four fonts. That way I would only have four entries in my font menu, not 22 - and also, it would work better with bold/italic attributes in AbiWord (currently choosing Italic on the main font results in a fake italic which different than and not as good as the real oblique, and currently choosing bold does nothing since xft does not support a fake bold)
Note to anyone using FontForge: For best results systemwise, narrow the character map window to eight character boxes wide and move it all the way to the right side of your screen. That way, the character creation windows will pop up to the left of the map window instead of on top of it, and the application will be much less prone to crashes. If you set the map window to take up the whole screen, it will slow things down immensely when you move or close the creation windows on top as the processor rerenders the map window behind it.
