[Pkg-fonts-devel] AFDKO package

[Hideki Yamane]

Hi,

 Now I'm investigating afdko.
 First, based on upstream git repo is better. Then,Debian packaging is on 
 debian/sid branch. see https://github.com/henrich/afdko


 Second, it seems that needs more package to work properly.

1. fontMath-ufo3
   https://github.com/typesupply/fontMath/tree/ufo3/.
2. defcon-ufo3
   https://github.com/typesupply/defcon/tree/ufo3
3. robofab-ufo3k: 
   https://github.com/robofab-developers/robofab/tree/ufo3k.
4. MutatorMath
   https://github.com/LettError/MutatorMath
5. pyClipper
   https://github.com/greginvm/pyclipper
6. booleanOperations-master
   https://github.com/typemytype/booleanOperations/

 lot ;)

 Third, some tools don't work properly.

$ /usr/bin/sfntdiff
Segmentation fault

$ /usr/bin/ttxn
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/share/afdko/FDKScripts/ttxn.py", line 86, in <module>
    from fontTools.misc.xmlWriter import XMLWriter
ImportError: No module named xmlWriter

 fonttools package needs to be updated to include python module.
