Hello Dellus. Thank you for all your effort on LibreCAD; it is superb software.  I'm an Architect, teach high school kids drafting,  and have used ver 2.1.3 for a number of years. Where can I find the ttf2lff converter utility for Linux/ Ubuntu. I have found the Windows version ( .exe and dll drivers files ) but not the Linux version. I understand it is packaged with the new 2.2.0 version of LibreCAD but unfortunately at this time I cannot upgrade - so I need just the ttf2lff utility - either compiled for 64 bit system or source code.  Alternatively, do you know of any font creating  software which output the lff format unique to LibreCAD. How were the OEM fonts in 2.1.3 or 2.2.0 created in the first place?

One option I have considered is using Wine to try to run ttf2lff (WINDOWS ) on Ubuntu.
