-You might face an error with importing fontforge
-
- File "tools/build.py", line 18, in <module>
- import fontforge
- ImportError: No module named fontforge

-This is because fontforge does not work properly with Python 3 on Ubuntu 16.04.
-To build the fonts with Python version 2.7 ; install FontForge Python
-module by following the instructions from the [official documentation][3]. But
-make sure to enable python extension and scripting for Python 2. Use the following
-commands instead of the original in the last step of the installation:
-
- $ cd fontforge
- $ ./bootstrap
- $ ./configure --enable-python-extension --enable-python-scripting=2
- $ make
- $ sudo make install
- $ sudo ldconfig
-
-After that, return back to the directory of the amiri repository and continue
-with python-fontforge, gpp, and the virtual environment
-
- $ sudo apt-get install python-fontforge gpp
- $ virtualenv amiri --system-site-packages
- $ . amiri/bin/activate
