Now, as the root user: make install Fontforge may need a workaround to start, due to a bug in the splash screen. If you wish to start from a terminal, either issue fontforge -new, or, after issuing fontforge, press Ctrl-C once, after the splash screen appears. For the menu, make the following substitution, as the root user: sed -e '/Exec/ s/fontforge/& -new/' \ -i /usr/share/applications/fontforge.desktop Command Explanations sed -i 's%naist.jp/pub/NetBSD/packages%netbsd.org/pub/pkgsrc%' The tests get the MunhwaGothic-Bold font - it is no longer at that mirror, so use the primary NetBSD source. --enable-gtk2-use: allows to use the GTK+2 graphics instead of basic Xorg graphics. : Turn on debug build and FONTFORGE_DEBUG conditional code.
