I believe I may have an exptremely interesting project for you – Professor Gaurav.

I also believe that your skill level would enable this project to get completed in a week,

whereas in may take me a year,
and still not get it quite right.

I am leaving my contact info, because I can find no other way to reach you directly.

Thanks,

and the icons are VERY cool !

“Any ideas on how to properly edit the CGFontCache.plist?”

I was wondering the same.

Thanks for this. I was able to port Perpetua thanks to your tutorial, however the process was rather painstaking in FontForge.

This is a really nice tutorial on getting fonts ready but it seems a little out dated. There seems to be something that must be done with the CGFontCache.plist in order for iphone 3gs to work with the new font.

I know this method still works because I can change fonts by renaming them, but I would like to add a new font all together.

Any ideas on how to properly edit the CGFontCache.plist?

Thanks.

I am trying to port a font called “Sassoon Infant” which has been converted from otf to ttf.

I have spent several hours pulling my hair out because some numbers are out of alignment.

I am using 3.1.2 and FontSwap.

I am using FontLab Studio on Mac OS X.

I see many people on forums having the same problem as me but they are always ignored or told to JUST MOVE THE GLYPHS UP!?!?! The very idea of that as a solution sickens me.

The fonts that come with FontSwap (including the “Default” ones) also have this problem and it is well known but there doesn’t seem to be any new tutorials on the new way to port fonts which I find…unusual…frustrating. However, i was able to find a repo that has many 3.0 compatible fonts which are all aligned beautifully.

I have tried every porting guide that I have found and I have yet to get all the numbers aligned correctly. It is most noticeable in icon badges and the status bar clock.

I can post screenshots if anyone cares.

I don’t expect anyone to reply to this as that seems to be the way people with this problem are treated. If you haven’t guessed i’m finding this really rather depressing! Why not cheer me up by pointing out a nice shiny new tutorial that Google has failed to find for me!
