[fontforge-users] White fontcolor inside black outline

[Thomas Höggren]

Noticed this question been up before… but was some years agoo. Wonder if it’s possible now to make multicolor fonts?
The most important for me at this moment is to make the inside body of a font with black outline White.
Someone have an answer?

Sincerely
Thomas Höggren

There are several standarised color font formats, but none is universally
implemented... What software do you want to use your color fonts in? That
will determine which format to use.

However fontforge doesn't support any, and I don't recommend attempting to
add new features to ff. Instead I recommend supporting trufont with a color
don't extension, similar to RoboChrome.

Thanks for the reply Dave. When using webfonts this is a big problem. Otherwise with designsoftwares this is not a problem.
When I’m designing webpages and need this kind of fonts I’m using the software Wysiwyg Web Builder.

”Instead I recommend supporting trufont with a color don't extension, similar to RoboChrome.”

I shall look into this… What is ”trufont”? Is it Truetype Font?
