Hi

I used the latest version of your script (should you give it a version number?).

On Arch Linux I had to install the python-pyqt5 package on top of the already installed Python packages.

This is to report success with a Linux Libertine.ttf font family where only the regular and italic fonts have been modified. I added them to Koreader (to replace the old ones) on my PW3 and checked that these two fonts have indeed been slightly boldened (+8).

Once I put the terminal on the path, to start the GUI I used

Code:

fontforge -script ReadifyFont-Qt.py

This is only a first trial. I will try now other options and also to modify the .otf version.

Thank you very much for such a nice -and easy- tool.
