The -dist- version was created a few minutes later, but the version was typo'd and it will untar to fontforge-2.0-20140101. Install FontForge by running the following commands: sed -i 's/20140101/20160404/g' configure inc/fontforge-config.h \ tests/package.m4 tests/testsuite ./configure --prefix=/usr \ --enable-gtk2-use \ --disable-static \ --docdir=/usr/share/doc/fontforge-&fontforge-version; && make To test the results, issue: make check. This will download two ttf files. Now, as the root user: make install sed -i 's/20140101/20160404/g' ... : This changes the typo'd date, particularly in the pkgconfig files and the log from the tests. --enable-gtk2-use: uses the GTK+2 graphics instead of basic Xorg graphics. --enable-debug: Turn on debug build and FONTFORGE_DEBUG conditional code. Requires libspiro.
