How to use the tool to create a similar database for Taiwanese character standards?

[konstantinhenke]

Hi skishore!

I'm in the process of creating stroke order data for traditional Chinese characters following the Taiwanese standard for stroke order and placement (which I consider essential in learning apps, considering Han-unification). After I found this font publicly available on an official website of the Taiwanese government, I happened to find the Make Me a Hanzi project and your amazing tool! I'm wondering if it might also work for a different (but obviously very similar) font, which would save me probably hundreds of hours of manual work since I'm not sure I would be able to recreate/reverse-engineer your stroke extractor. In #37 I found your hints as for how to get it working, but I'm still stuck at the same stage as @olivernyc back then:

Opening the console will get me this:

I still tried Meteor.call('restore'); as suggested in #37 but it returns undefined. I'm running Fedora and it seems like mongodump and mongorestore are not available for that, might that be the problem?

Also, where would I have to put the .ttf file and what changes would I have to make to get your tool to use the new font as an input?

Your help would be greatly appreciated!
