+Test fonts with Graphite tables for testing
+
+Original font: League Gothic by League of Moveable Type, converted to TT via FontSquirrel
+
+Kerning, GDEF/GSUB/GPOS info stripped out and the name table edited to
+produce grtest-template.ttx.
+
+Making a test font:
+
+1. Build ttx from template
+ sed -e 's/xxxfontnamexxx/grtestxxx/' grtest-template.ttx >grtestxxx-src.ttx
+
+2. Make the font
+ ttx grtestxxx-src.ttx
+
+3. Edit GDL file
+
+4. Compile the GDL into the ttf
+
+../graphite-compiler.sh -d -v3 -w3521 -w510 font.gdl grtestxxx-src.ttf grtestxxx.ttf
+
+Where graphite-compiler.sh is a script to run the graphite compiler in wine on OSX
+(the compiler is available both as a Windows exe and as source).
+
