Wacom graphics tablets and FontForge
I have added support to FontForge for the wacom graphics
tablet. Eventually I will write some drawing tools that depend
on pressure (and tilt perhaps).
To install a wacom tablet on your (linux) machine you must
do two things:
- Install a kernel module "wacom.o" into your system
Unfortunately the module which ships with linux (Nov 2002)
does not work but John Joganic has an excellent website that
will help you install a working driver.
- Install an X11 driver "wacom_drv.o"
Again the X11 driver that ships with X does not work for USB
tablets. Again John's website provides a patched driver.
