For example, with the Regular variant:
- Open
src/agave-r.sfdin FontForge. - Click File –> Generate Fonts –> pick TrueType, No Bitmap Fonts, No Rename –> Options: pick TrueType Hints, PS Glyph Names, OpenType –> Generate.
- You might see (and can ignore, I think) some warnings about non-integral coordinates, etc.
- Hint the generated font file using ttfautohint.
- Assuming the generated file is
raw.ttf, runttfautohint -v -t raw.ttf Agave-Regular.ttf
- Assuming the generated file is
- type agaric opted for a slightly eponymic name for their first typeface.
- “Agave” refers either to the green plant or to the daughter of Kadmos in mythology.
- agave is sister to autonoe and ino.

… foremost to bc, Inkscape, ttfautohint, and FontForge as I relied on them to respectively measure, draw, hint, and generate agave,
to GitHub for hosting this repo,
and to all the users ♥
