m040601 [1] filed a deletion request for ft2tf [2]: This PKGBUILD, "ft2tf" is obsolete and should be completely removed from the AUR. It's presence in the AUR is only confusing users. It used to be, like 10 years ago, a companion tool for fbpad. It has stopped being so a long time. It has been replaced by another tool, fbpad_mkfn As the author states in his homepage, http://litcave.rudi.ir/, ``` ... The fbpad_mkfn program (or its predecessor ft2tf) can generate fbpad font files ... ``` ``` ... Jan 2016: I have uploaded fbpad_mkfn, a replacement for ft2tf ... ``` It is not even listed anymore in the authors' git repos, Either, https://github.com/aligrudi/ or its original mirror, https://repo.or.cz/projlist.cgi?name=e4985eabe11cacf799a880921d7ab569 Pay also attention to this. If you check, https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/fbpad-git, you will find that, ``` Make Deps : git ft2tf ttf-dejavu ``` So it seems it is still needed right ? Wrong ! That "ft2tf" make dependency there is wrong. It is only there, because the "fbpad-git" AUR PKGBUILD, itself, is currently abandoned, and has not been maintained.
