I need help with the AFDK

Hi everyone,

I need help with the AFDK tools.

I have been “designing” fonts for about a half year in FontLab, and I have some work finished (sort of) now, and ready for testing.

I downloaded the AFDKO and installed the software with the “FinishInstallOSX” dropped into the Terminal.

My problem is basic... I don’t know how to use Terminal well enough to use the tools now that I have them. I need the five-minute tutorial from someone who might have been through this already. Specifically, I need help with the checkOutlines routine.

Where to I put the path to the font I want to check?

(and that sort of thing)

Thank you in advance.

Brian
