<note>
<para>The download link below obtains
<filename>fontforge-&fontforge-date;-Unix-Source.tar.gz</filename>. This
is not the correct name for the archive, because it saves the file as
<filename class="directory">fontforge-&fontforge-version;</filename>. The
file should be renamed to the correct filename
<filename>fontforge-&fontforge-version;.tar.gz</filename>. You can
achieve this automatically by using the command:</para>
<screen><userinput> wget -c <ulink url="&fontforge-download-http;"/> \
-O fontforge-&fontforge-version;.tar.gz</userinput></screen>
