I need help making a fontforge dotpup. . .

#1 Post by Todd »

I have been working on making a dotpup of fontforge. I have everything done as far as getting the file tree organized (see tarball at http://www.toddrichardson.com/fontforge.tar.gz), but the dotpups I have created won't start using the dotpup menu. (I can, however, locate the program manually and start it.) What am I doing wrong?

How do you create your dotpups?
With the dotpupwizard or manually?

How I create dotpups. . .

#3 Post by Todd »

I organize all the files, for example with Firefox, if I remember correctly, I create a structure something like:

firefox-2.0\FILESYSTEM\usr\local
firefox-2.0\FILESYSTEM\usr\bin

I then run the wizard, select firefox-2.0 and then answer the questions. With Firefox I didn't want it to show up in the dotpup menu. I simply created a new symlink for "defaultbrowser" to replace the old one. I also created a symlink for Firefox in firefox-2.0\FILESYSTEM\usr\bin (again, I am working from memory, 'cause right now I am in Windows.

With fontforge I didn't create any symlinks. Could this be my problem?
