Pardon my ignorance, but where do I search for free fonts editor in the openSUSE repos? I am looking to get back into font editing, but I don't want to spends a lot of money (over 500 USD) on font editors for Windows (ugh) or Mac OS X (less ugh).

-> zypper se font

You can also approach this in reverse by using Google

"open source font editor"

And then look for package in OBS based on what Google returns.

https://build.opensuse.org/search

And if you find one in Google that you might like to use and you cannot find in OBS, then it would be great if you would create a package ;)

Thanks for the tips, this will be useful for other packages I may want. FontForge is the way to go for now, but its interface is really clunky compared to commercial editors I have used, which have not and probably will not be ported to Linux. And even if they were, they would not be free. If I find another open source font editor, I will look into building it, it would be a great way to break into OBS.
