Makefont fails! #64

• I downloaded the Amaranth TrueType fonts from Google Fonts
• I compiled the makefont.go source and also downloaded both the cp1252 & iso-8859-1 map files

However, when running it as indicated in the utility help instructions:

makefont --dst embed/fonts --embed --enc embed/fonts/cp1252.map ~/.fonts/Amaranth-Regular.ttf

And I get this error:

Unexpected EOF

The same error occurs when I omit the --embed option.

Really need to use as nicer-looki g font other than the defaults, unfortunately make font seems to be hopelessly broken. It always says "Unexpected EOF" when fed a TTF font file.

At least the original FPDF project had an online version. Unfortunately the GO version uses a JSON file so I am stuck on trying to use a non-default font.

If not can anybody point me to a similarly capable GO PDF creation package that is actually supported? I noticed there is also a jung-kurt/gofpdf but it was archived in 2021.

hum... are you sure you're running the expected binary ?
makefont doesn't take a --dest flag (but -dst).

compiling makefont and downloading Amaranth from https://www.1001freefonts.com/amaranth.font worked for me:

$> makefont -dst out -embed -enc ./cp1252.map ./Amaranth-Regular.ttf

if that helps, here is what I am doing in gonum/plot to embed fonts from within the same program (w/o having to shell out):

I did, typo on my OP, it is -dst the problem is not the option but the actual processing.

I truly don't know what's going on. I recompiled makefont, even re-dowmloaded Amaranth from the site hou mentioned, used it as stated and still get the Unexpected EOF error. I'm on an ARMHF machine.

Is there perhaps a way you can send me those files I need to embed on GoPDF (I guess it's only the JSON file, right?). I tried generating it online but only the original PDF project has that and doesn't generate a JDON but a PHP file if I remember correctly.
