pixiaというペイントツールを現役で使っているんですが、不知火フォントというのを使おうと思い、しかしpixia上ではそのフォントが出てこず、いろいろ試したら、fontforgeでttfファイルに変換したら無事読み込めました。otfは駄目なのかな

Nothing a bit of cursed layout jiggering pokering and manually editing ascender/descender tables in FontForge couldn't solve!

fontforgeが2年10ヶ月くらいぶりに更新されたようなので、ちょい触ってみる。相変わらずベリー不安定。起動中に、画面右端に線がヒジョーにごくまれに入ったりカオス。線は2画面表示で解像度が異なる（アス比かも）と入るっぽい？

While I'm on the topic, I've floated the idea of redoing it from scratch since it looks fairly inconsistent at smaller text sizes, and some letters like "S" and "U" have weird rounding.
If I remember correctly, I made the glyphs in Flash before importing them into FontForge which explains the jank.

TeX has the same problem, of course. Both FontForge and TeX are spaghetti code.

It is difficult to work with that. One really needs code to which one can apply a one-to-one mapping of the C functionality to the Python functionality. That’s how it should be.
That’s how good code would be, in my opinion.

The answer is--
Internationalization and localization.
Believe me, it gets very complicated. But I did this sort of thing when working on FontForge and Sorts Mill Editor. It is complicated but also very interesting.

新しいフォントを作ることに決めた、フォントに関する知識と癖のある fontforge の使い方と python（一番最初に触った scratch 以外のまともな言語ではあるけども）を英語で調べなければ（ああ、duolingo もう524日も慣性で続けちゃってるよ、毎日10pxの単語当てゲームしかやってないから全然意味ないけども笑）英語を操れないと知識も狭まっちゃうからなあ

Fun fact: Dedicated font creation software like FontForge & FontCreator have a bunch of great advanced features
But if you just want something quick & easy, like making a font from your handwriting, free software like InkScape has a font editor built-in that's easy to use (relatively)

字体问题解决了~
Inkscape导入pdf后，会用系统字体渲染（或者转换为path，这样不好编辑）， 和pdf使用的字体（子集字体）哪怕名称一样，渲染出来也可能是不同的。
方案就是用FontForge从pdf中导出它使用的嵌入字体为ttf文件，注意这个ttf文件仅包含pdf用到的字符。
然后安装这个ttf文件，刷新字体缓存，重启Inkscape就能识别这个字体了（有可能会和安装的字体有冲突）， 渲染出来的字体和PDF的一模一样且是可编辑的

Hard to say. You could try tinkering with the font with fontforge, but unless the website somehow embeds fonts it wouldn’t be portable I reckon. Besides, hardly worth it, I still have PTSD flashbacks of when I had to figure out how to correctly add diacritics to a font
