How to correctly compile galmuri?

[TakWolf]

The process is:

Edit in bitsnpicas -> export .bdf -> use mkttf to .ttf ?

I found some files in https://github.com/quiple/galmuri/tree/main/files, like xxx.fea. How to use these files?

I am not very familiar with bitsnpicas, and it can only export bitmap fonts (even OpenType is bitmap format and does not have advanced features). It .kbitx source file looks quite simple, with only bitmap data.

I rewrite fonts in AFDKO for kerning. This is where the .fea file comes in.

I also use mkttf to generate TrueType fonts with bitmap strikes (which Bits'N'Picas does not support). (Outline TrueType fonts are generated with Bits'N'Picas).

The overall process:

Edit in Bits'N'Picas -> Export .bdf, .ttf
-> .bdf -> Convert to .ttf by using mkttf (ex. Galmuri11Bitmap.ttf)
-> .ttf -> Rewrite .ttf by using AFDKO (ex. Galmuri11.ttf) -> Compress to .woff2 by using fontTools
