Install
You have installed everything listed one page ago?
Then installation is very easy. Just read the file
INSTALL
and you will be guided through installation.
User installation
Fontlinge have a two-step installation, like i. e. OpenOffice.
After the system installation, every user that wants to use Fontlinge has to
call fontlinge_userinstall and fontlinge_config
to install the WebGUI files to your ~/public_html/fontlinge directory
and to create the ~/.fontlinge.
If you don't like to type the --long-options, let fontlinge_config include
fontlinge_complete in your ~/.bashrc (it will add a line source
/path/to/fontlinge_complete) and re-login. This allows
autocompletion of the --long-options for fontlinge scripts
with tab key as known from filenames.
Then setup the database with
fontlinge_database_assistant --phoenix
If something doesn't work feel free to contact

For SUSE users:
Download and install the RPM file instead of the tar.gz or tar.bz2
file. Then continue with the "User installation" section.
For Debian users:
At least on my sid system ~/.bash_profile has commented out usage of ~/.bashrc, so
you lose lot's of features - like fontlinge autocompletion. If you want to
activate those features, look for:
#if [ -f ~/.bashrc ]; then
# . ~/.bashrc
#fi
and remove the #'s.
The new features become active at the next login.
