OpensIFRr now for Windows

I’ve encountered the problem with spaces that you’re talking about with a font I’m trying to convert but unfortunately, it doesn’t seem to matter if I choose a limited set of characters, the problem still persists.

I have the same problem here… without the space character, all the words just massing up. And im missing some other font from easter-european iso-8859-2, example: ű Å‘
Maybe a new fixed version please?
Great work btw, bigup

Hi, great program but having the same problem with spaces! For a potential solution I’m going to use spans to trigger sIRF and close the spans at the end of each word, yes, it’s ugly, but I can’t really see any major downside to it! Can anyone else?

There is not downside, it just makes me semantically sad
John, Madi, please tell me more about your configurations. Are you on Windows or Mac? What character set are you trying to get encoded?

To fix the space bug, download an old version of swfmill (0.2.11 seems to work) from http://swfmill.org/releases/ and replace swfmill.exe in C:\Program Files\OpensIFRr with the version that you just downloaded. Hope that helps!

Is there a way to enable the creation of bold or thicker fonts? If I recall correctly there should be a setting somewhere as this post shows: http://discuss.joyent.com/viewtopic.php?id=18635

Could this be added to OpenSiFRr?

Thanks!

Hi,

I ran the setup and it seemed to install fine.

How to I access the program?

Simon, did you install on Mac or Windows?

[...] Aby wygenerować sifrowe nagłówki musimy zaopatrzyć siÄ™ w (ogólnie) skrypt sifr w wersji 2.0.5 (w chwili pisania tego artykuÅ‚u) oraz odpowiedniÄ… czcionkÄ™ w formacie *.swf.

Hi, I’m trying to use OpensIFRr for Windows (running Windows XP pro). install worked like a charm. i cannot figure how to select more then one group of glyphs, but well for a start i can work with “all” of them.
1 Attempt: (Space selected) – program stops
2. Attempt: downgrade to swfmill 2.11 as suggested by Richard Hilton
+ this gives me a working swf file,
– german Umlaute – öäüÖÄÜ – are not working
– I’m not sure about the character set used be OPENsIFRr. My Page uses: charset=iso-8859-1

best regards – and thank you very much for the efford put into this!

> i cannot figure how to select more then one group of glyphs,

On Windows, hold down Ctrl to select multiple single glyphs (guess you knew that).
To add a group of glyphs to your selection, keep holding Ctrl, click on the first glyph, hold Shift (keep holding Ctrl all the time!), then click on the last glyph, release Shift.
Rinse and repeat. Just make sure never to release Ctrl until you’ve selected all glyphs and groups of glyphs you need.

… is siFRr.jar the file to execute?
I have java installed (XP pro SP3), but .jar get associate with my Nokia installer..
any idea on how I can get the software to work?

thank you!

Which version of sifr (2.0.5?, 2.0.x? or 3?) is necessery with OpensIFRr? Don’t have Flash and don’t want to use it neither.

[...] Check out opensIFr. It works really nicely, albeit only with True Type fonts. [...]

Hi,

The sourceforge link to OpensIFR no longer seems to work… Does it have a new home?
