Re: purpose of "fontforge -dry"

--help says:

    -dry scriptfile         (syntax checks scriptfile)
        must be the first option. All others passed to scriptfile.
        Only for fontforge's own scripting language, not python.

Subversion Kills Productivity. Get off Subversion & Make the Move to Perforce.
With Perforce, you get hassle-free workflows. Merge that actually works. 
Faster operations. Version large binaries.  Built-in WAN optimization and the
freedom to use Git, Perforce or both. Make the move to Perforce.
