Overview

gerb

  1. *gerb ʰ-: reconstructed Proto-Indo-European root, meaning to carve
  2. gerb: a WIP font editor in gtk3 and rust

Introduction

gerb is an experimental, developed for fun GUI font editor. Still in prototype phase, it opens fonts in UFOv3 format but hasn't implemented saving modifications or exporting to otf/ttf files yet.

Goals

  • Fun
  • Good UX not necessarily tied to prior art
  • Reasonable performance
  • Configurability
  • Use visual feedback for all kinds of operations to inform the user of the current state (for example, a Bézier path tool that shows you the current curve's degree and progress).

Roadmap to a minimum working prototype

Running the demo

Expects a folder "font.ufo" to be defined in the command line:

cargo run --release -- -u ./font.ufo

I got mine from the Regular instance at the Source Sans repository.

Dependencies

Needs gtk-3.

On Debian and relatives:

apt install libgtk-3-dev

On macOS you can install dependencies with Homebrew:

brew install librsvg gtk+3 gnome-icon-theme

    Handle case where gdk_pixbuf can't load an SVG graphic

    Hey :)

    For some reason my system often has problems with GTK applications. I'm running Sway on NixOS.

    One ususal problem I face is that icons are not loaded. This is the case with gerb as well, but this time I had to make this small change in order to be able to open a glyph.

    $ cargo run
...
(gerb:2399975): Gtk-WARNING **: 03:45:15.166: Could not find the icon 'object-select-symbolic-ltr'. The 'hicolor' theme
was not found either, perhaps you need to install it.
You can get a copy from:
        http://icon-theme.freedesktop.org/releases

(gerb:2399975): Gtk-WARNING **: 03:45:15.652: Could not load a pixbuf from /org/gtk/libgtk/theme/Adwaita/assets/bullet-symbolic.svg.
This may indicate that pixbuf loaders or the mime database could not be found.
open-glyph-edit received!
thread 'main' panicked at 'called `Result::unwrap()` on an `Err` value: Error { domain: gdk-pixbuf-error-quark, code: 3, message: "Unrecognized image file format" }', src/resources.rs:35:69
note: run with `RUST_BACKTRACE=1` environment variable to display a backtrace

    I have no clue what's the culprit here, but figured not crashing with broken icons is preferable to crashing.

    Cheers, Kerstin
