Thanks for your replies.
Larry,
Thanks for the info. I think the maintainer of
fontforge should have added it to the cygwin setup as
a standard package, with the appropriate dependencies.
That would have avoided the problem that I had (and
more people in the future will probably have with
installing fontforge on Windows).
Brian,
Thanks for your thoughtful analysis of email vs. Web
forum as methods for discussing things. I agree with
some of your points, but not with others. Since I am
opposed to flame wars in a realtime information
channel like this one, let me just say that I disagree
but respect your position, and leave it there.
Perhaps the best solution would be for any information
channel (like this mailing list) to offer a choice of
either user interface. This could be done in some
standard Open Source way, so no organization hosting a
channel would have to do any additional programming.
I consider this thread as completed, with thanks again
to David Korn for his great help.
David Spector
