What is this?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
| fontTools is a library for manipulating fonts, written in Python. The
project includes the TTX tool, that can convert TrueType and OpenType
fonts to and from an XML text format, which is also called TTX. It
supports TrueType, OpenType, AFM and to an extent Type 1 and some
Mac-specific formats. The project has a `MIT open-source
licence <LICENSE>`__.
| Among other things this means you can use it free of charge.
Installation
~~~~~~~~~~~~
FontTools requires `Python <http://www.python.org/download/>`__ 2.7, 3.4
or later.
The package is listed in the Python Package Index (PyPI), so you can
install it with `pip <https://pip.pypa.io>`__:
.. code:: sh
pip install fonttools
If you would like to contribute to its development, you can clone the
repository from Github, install the package in 'editable' mode and
modify the source code in place. We recommend creating a virtual
environment, using `virtualenv <https://virtualenv.pypa.io>`__ or
Python 3 `venv <https://docs.python.org/3/library/venv.html>`__ module.
.. code:: sh
# download the source code to 'fonttools' folder
git clone https://github.com/fonttools/fonttools.git
cd fonttools
# create new virtual environment called e.g. 'fonttools-venv', or anything you like
python -m virtualenv fonttools-venv
# source the `activate` shell script to enter the environment (Un\*x); to exit, just type `deactivate`
. fonttools-venv/bin/activate
# to activate the virtual environment in Windows `cmd.exe`, do
fonttools-venv\Scripts\activate.bat
# install in 'editable' mode
pip install -e .
TTX – From OpenType and TrueType to XML and Back
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Once installed you can use the ``ttx`` command to convert binary font
files (``.otf``, ``.ttf``, etc) to the TTX xml format, edit them, and
convert them back to binary format. TTX files have a .ttx file
extension.
.. code:: sh
ttx /path/to/font.otf
ttx /path/to/font.ttx
The TTX application works can be used in two ways, depending on what
platform you run it on:
- As a command line tool (Windows/DOS, Unix, MacOSX)
- By dropping files onto the application (Windows, MacOS)
TTX detects what kind of files it is fed: it will output a ``.ttx`` file
when it sees a ``.ttf`` or ``.otf``, and it will compile a ``.ttf`` or
``.otf`` when the input file is a ``.ttx`` file. By default, the output
file is created in the same folder as the input file, and will have the
same name as the input file but with a different extension. TTX will
*never* overwrite existing files, but if necessary will append a unique
number to the output filename (before the extension) such as
``Arial#1.ttf``
When using TTX from the command line there are a bunch of extra options,
these are explained in the help text, as displayed when typing
``ttx -h`` at the command prompt. These additional options include:
- specifying the folder where the output files are created
- specifying which tables to dump or which tables to exclude
- merging partial ``.ttx`` files with existing ``.ttf`` or ``.otf``
files
- listing brief table info instead of dumping to ``.ttx``
- splitting tables to separate ``.ttx`` files
- disabling TrueType instruction disassembly
The TTX file format
-------------------
The following tables are currently supported:
.. begin table list
.. code::
BASE, CBDT, CBLC, CFF, CFF2, COLR, CPAL, DSIG, EBDT, EBLC, FFTM,
Feat, GDEF, GMAP, GPKG, GPOS, GSUB, Glat, Gloc, HVAR, JSTF, LTSH,
MATH, META, MVAR, OS/2, SING, STAT, SVG, Silf, Sill, TSI0, TSI1,
TSI2, TSI3, TSI5, TSIB, TSID, TSIJ, TSIP, TSIS, TSIV, TTFA, VDMX,
VORG, VVAR, ankr, avar, bsln, cidg, cmap, cvar, cvt, feat, fpgm,
fvar, gasp, gcid, glyf, gvar, hdmx, head, hhea, hmtx, kern, lcar,
loca, ltag, maxp, meta, mort, morx, name, opbd, post, prep, prop,
sbix, trak, vhea and vmtx
.. end table list
Other tables are dumped as hexadecimal data.
TrueType fonts use glyph indices (GlyphIDs) to refer to glyphs in most
places. While this is fine in binary form, it is really hard to work
with for humans. Therefore we use names instead.
The glyph names are either extracted from the ``CFF`` table or the
``post`` table, or are derived from a Unicode ``cmap`` table. In the
latter case the Adobe Glyph List is used to calculate names based on
Unicode values. If all of these methods fail, names are invented based
on GlyphID (eg ``glyph00142``)
It is possible that different glyphs use the same name. If this happens,
we force the names to be unique by appending ``#n`` to the name (``n``
being an integer number.) The original names are being kept, so this has
no influence on a "round tripped" font.
Because the order in which glyphs are stored inside the binary font is
important, we maintain an ordered list of glyph names in the font.
Other Tools
~~~~~~~~~~~
Commands for inspecting, merging and subsetting fonts are also
available:
.. code:: sh
pyftinspect
pyftmerge
pyftsubset
fontTools Python Module
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The fontTools python module provides a convenient way to
programmatically edit font files.
.. code:: py
>>> from fontTools.ttLib import TTFont
>>> font = TTFont('/path/to/font.ttf')
>>> font
<fontTools.ttLib.TTFont object at 0x10c34ed50>
>>>
A selection of sample python programs is in the
`Snippets <https://github.com/fonttools/fonttools/blob/master/Snippets/>`__
directory.
Optional Requirements
---------------------
The ``fontTools`` package currently has no (required) external dependencies
besides the modules included in the Python Standard Library.
However, a few extra dependencies are required by some of its modules, which
are needed to unlock optional features.
- ``Lib/fontTools/ttLib/woff2.py``
Module to compress/decompress WOFF 2.0 web fonts; it requires:
- `brotli <https://pypi.python.org/pypi/Brotli>`__: Python bindings of
the Brotli compression library.
- ``Lib/fontTools/ttLib/sfnt.py``
To better compress WOFF 1.0 web fonts, the following module can be used
instead of the built-in ``zlib`` library:
- `zopfli <https://pypi.python.org/pypi/zopfli>`__: Python bindings of
the Zopfli compression library.
- ``Lib/fontTools/unicode.py``
To display the Unicode character names when dumping the ``cmap`` table
with ``ttx`` we use the ``unicodedata`` module in the Standard Library.
The version included in there varies between different Python versions.
To use the latest available data, you can install:
- `unicodedata2 <https://pypi.python.org/pypi/unicodedata2>`__:
``unicodedata`` backport for Python 2.7 and 3.5 updated to the latest
Unicode version 9.0. Note this is not necessary if you use Python 3.6
as the latter already comes with an up-to-date ``unicodedata``.
- ``Lib/fontTools/varLib/interpolatable.py``
Module for finding wrong contour/component order between different masters.
It requires one of the following packages in order to solve the so-called
"minimum weight perfect matching problem in bipartite graphs", or
the Assignment problem:
* `scipy <https://pypi.python.org/pypi/scipy>`__: the Scientific Library
for Python, which internally uses `NumPy <https://pypi.python.org/pypi/numpy>`__
arrays and hence is very fast;
* `munkres <https://pypi.python.org/pypi/munkres>`__: a pure-Python
module that implements the Hungarian or Kuhn-Munkres algorithm.
- ``Lib/fontTools/misc/symfont.py``
Advanced module for symbolic font statistics analysis; it requires:
* `sympy <https://pypi.python.org/pypi/sympy>`__: the Python library for
symbolic mathematics.
- ``Lib/fontTools/t1Lib.py``
To get the file creator and type of Macintosh PostScript Type 1 fonts
on Python 3 you need to install the following module, as the old ``MacOS``
module is no longer included in Mac Python:
* `xattr <https://pypi.python.org/pypi/xattr>`__: Python wrapper for
extended filesystem attributes (macOS platform only).
- ``Lib/fontTools/pens/cocoaPen.py``
Pen for drawing glyphs with Cocoa ``NSBezierPath``, requires:
* `PyObjC <https://pypi.python.org/pypi/pyobjc>`__: the bridge between
Python and the Objective-C runtime (macOS platform only).
- ``Lib/fontTools/pens/qtPen.py``
Pen for drawing glyphs with Qt's ``QPainterPath``, requires:
* `PyQt5 <https://pypi.python.org/pypi/PyQt5>`__: Python bindings for
the Qt cross platform UI and application toolkit.
- ``Lib/fontTools/pens/reportLabPen.py``
Pen to drawing glyphs as PNG images, requires:
* `reportlab <https://pypi.python.org/pypi/reportlab>`__: Python toolkit
for generating PDFs and graphics.
- ``Lib/fontTools/inspect.py``
A GUI font inspector, requires one of the following packages:
* `PyGTK <https://pypi.python.org/pypi/PyGTK>`__: Python bindings for
GTK 2.x (only works with Python 2).
* `PyGObject <https://wiki.gnome.org/action/show/Projects/PyGObject>`__ :
Python bindings for GTK 3.x and gobject-introspection libraries (also
compatible with Python 3).
Testing
~~~~~~~
To run the test suite, you can do:
.. code:: sh
python setup.py test
If you have `pytest <http://docs.pytest.org/en/latest/>`__, you can run
the ``pytest`` command directly. The tests will run against the
installed ``fontTools`` package, or the first one found in the
``PYTHONPATH``.
You can also use `tox <https://testrun.org/tox/latest/>`__ to
automatically run tests on different Python versions in isolated virtual
environments.
.. code:: sh
pip install tox
tox
Note that when you run ``tox`` without arguments, the tests are executed
for all the environments listed in tox.ini's ``envlist``. In our case,
this includes Python 2.7 and 3.6, so for this to work the ``python2.7``
and ``python3.6`` executables must be available in your ``PATH``.
You can specify an alternative environment list via the ``-e`` option,
or the ``TOXENV`` environment variable:
.. code:: sh
tox -e py27-nocov
TOXENV="py36-cov,htmlcov" tox

History
~~~~~~~
The fontTools project was started by Just van Rossum in 1999, and was
maintained as an open source project at
http://sourceforge.net/projects/fonttools/. In 2008, Paul Wise (pabs3)

Changelog
~~~~~~~~~
3.21.2 (released 2018-01-08)
----------------------------
- [varLib] Fixed merging PairPos Format1/2 with missing subtables (#1125).
3.21.1 (released 2018-01-03)
----------------------------
- [feaLib] Allow mixed single/multiple substitutions (#612)
- Added missing ``*.afm`` test assets to MAINFEST.in (#1137).
- Fixed dumping ``SVG`` tables containing color palettes (#1124).
3.21.0 (released 2017-12-18)
----------------------------
- [cmap] when compiling format6 subtable, don't assume gid0 is always called
'.notdef' (1e42224).
- [ot] Allow decompiling fonts with bad Coverage format number (1aafae8).
- Change FontTools licence to MIT (#1127).
- [post] Prune extra names already in standard Mac set (df1e8c7).
- [subset] Delete empty SubrsIndex after subsetting (#994, #1118).
- [varLib] Don't share points in cvar by default, as it currently fails on
some browsers (#1113).
- [afmLib] Make poor old afmLib work on python3.
3.20.1 (released 2017-11-22)
----------------------------
- [unicodedata] Fixed issue with ``script`` and ``script_extension`` functions
returning inconsistent short vs long names. They both return the short four-
letter script codes now. Added ``script_name`` and ``script_code`` functions
to look up the long human-readable script name from the script code, and
viceversa (#1109, #1111).
3.20.0 (released 2017-11-21)
----------------------------
- [unicodedata] Addded new module ``fontTools.unicodedata`` which exports the
same interface as the built-in ``unicodedata`` module, with the addition of
a few functions that are missing from the latter, such as ``script``,
``script_extension`` and ``block``. Added a ``MetaTools/buildUCD.py`` script
to download and parse data files from the Unicode Character Database and
generate python modules containing lists of ranges and property values.
- [feaLib] Added ``__str__`` method to all ``ast`` elements (delegates to the
``asFea`` method).
- [feaLib] ``Parser`` constructor now accepts a ``glyphNames`` iterable
instead of ``glyphMap`` dict. The latter still works but with a pending
deprecation warning (#1104).
- [bezierTools] Added arc length calculation functions originally from
``pens.perimeterPen`` module (#1101).
- [varLib] Started generating STAT table (8af4309). Right now it just reflects
the axes, and even that with certain limitations:
* AxisOrdering is set to the order axes are defined,
* Name-table entries are not shared with fvar.
- [py23] Added backports for ``redirect_stdout`` and ``redirect_stderr``
context managers (#1097).
- [Graphite] Fixed some round-trip bugs (#1093).
3.19.0 (released 2017-11-06)
----------------------------
- [varLib] Try set of used points instead of all points when testing whether to
share points between tuples (#1090).
- [CFF2] Fixed issue with reading/writing PrivateDict BlueValues to TTX file.
Read the commit message 8b02b5a and issue #1030 for more details.
NOTE: this change invalidates all the TTX files containing CFF2 tables
that where dumped with previous verisons of fonttools.
CFF2 Subr items can have values on the stack after the last operator, thus
a ``CFF2Subr`` class was added to accommodate this (#1091).
- [_k_e_r_n] Fixed compilation of AAT kern version=1.0 tables (#1089, #1094)
- [ttLib] Added getBestCmap() convenience method to TTFont class and cmap table
class that returns a preferred Unicode cmap subtable given a list of options
(#1092).
- [morx] Emit more meaningful subtable flags. Implement InsertionMorphAction
3.18.0 (released 2017-10-30)
----------------------------
- [feaLib] Fixed writing back nested glyph classes (#1086).
- [TupleVariation] Reactivated shared points logic, bugfixes (#1009).
- [AAT] Implemented ``morx`` ligature subtables (#1082).
- [reverseContourPen] Keep duplicate lineTo following a moveTo (#1080,
https://github.com/googlei18n/cu2qu/issues/51).

- [sstruct] Fixed issue with ``unicode_literals`` and ``struct`` module in
old versions of python 2.7 (#993).
3.17.0 (released 2017-10-16)
----------------------------
- [svgPathPen] Added an ``SVGPathPen`` that translates segment pen commands
into SVG path descriptions. Copied from Tal Leming's ``ufo2svg.svgPathPen``
https://github.com/typesupply/ufo2svg/blob/d69f992/Lib/ufo2svg/svgPathPen.py
- [reverseContourPen] Added ``ReverseContourPen``, a filter pen that draws
contours with the winding direction reversed, while keeping the starting
point (#1071).
- [filterPen] Added ``ContourFilterPen`` to manipulate contours as a whole
rather than segment by segment.
- [arrayTools] Added ``Vector`` class to apply math operations on an array
of numbers, and ``pairwise`` function to loop over pairs of items in an
iterable.
- [varLib] Added support for building and interpolation of ``cvar`` table
(f874cf6, a25a401).
3.16.0 (released 2017-10-03)
----------------------------
- [head] Try using ``SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH`` environment variable when setting
the ``head`` modified timestamp to ensure reproducible builds (#1063).
See https://reproducible-builds.org/specs/source-date-epoch/
- [VTT] Decode VTT's ``TSI*`` tables text as UTF-8 (#1060).
- Added support for Graphite font tables: Feat, Glat, Gloc, Silf and Sill.

supports the Pen protocol (#1051). Also, added a snippet to convert SVG
outlines to UFO GLIF (#1053).
- [AAT] Added support for ``ankr``, ``bsln``, ``mort``, ``morx``, ``gcid``,
and ``cidg``.
- [subset] Implemented subsetting of ``prop``, ``opbd``, ``bsln``, ``lcar``.
3.15.1 (released 2017-08-18)
----------------------------
- [otConverters] Implemented ``__add__`` and ``__radd__`` methods on
``otConverters._LazyList`` that decompile a lazy list before adding
it to another list or ``_LazyList`` instance. Fixes an ``AttributeError``
in the ``subset`` module when attempting to sum ``_LazyList`` objects
(6ef48bd2, 1aef1683).
- [AAT] Support the `opbd` table with optical bounds (a47f6588).
- [AAT] Support `prop` table with glyph properties (d05617b4).
3.15.0 (released 2017-08-17)
----------------------------
- [AAT] Added support for AAT lookups. The ``lcar`` table can be decompiled
and recompiled; futher work needed to handle ``morx`` table (#1025).

- [_g_l_y_f.GlyphCoordinates] Changed ``__bool__()`` semantics to match those
of other iterables (e46f949). Removed ``__abs__()`` (3db5be2).
- [varLib.interpolate_layout] Added ``mapped`` keyword argument to
``interpolate_layout`` to allow disabling avar mapping: if False (default),
the location is mapped using the map element of the axes in designspace file;
if True, it is assumed that location is in designspace's internal space and
no mapping is performed (#950, #975).

3.11.0 (released 2017-05-03)
----------------------------
- [t2CharStringPen] Initial support for specialized Type2 path operators:
vmoveto, hmoveto, vlineto, hlineto, vvcurveto, hhcurveto, vhcurveto and

code or XML needs fix.
- several bug fixes to the cffLib module, contributed by Adobe's
@readroberts
- The XML output for CFF table now has a 'major' and 'minor' elements
for specifying whether it's version 1.0 or 2.0 (support for CFF2 is
coming soon)
- [setup.py] remove undocumented/deprecated ``extra_path`` Distutils
argument. This means that we no longer create a "FontTools" subfolder
in site-packages containing the actual fontTools package, as well as
the standalone xmlWriter and sstruct modules. The latter modules are
also deprecated, and scheduled for removal in upcoming releases.
Please change your import statements to point to from fontTools.misc
import xmlWriter and from fontTools.misc import sstruct.
- [scripts] Add a 'fonttools' command-line tool that simply runs
``fontTools.*`` sub-modules: e.g. ``fonttools ttx``,
``fonttools subset``, etc.
- [hmtx/vmts] Read advance width/heights as unsigned short (uint16);
automatically round float values to integers.
- [ttLib/xmlWriter] add 'newlinestr=None' keyword argument to
``TTFont.saveXML`` for overriding os-specific line endings (passed on
to ``XMLWriter`` instances).
- [versioning] Use versioneer instead of ``setuptools_scm`` to
dynamically load version info from a git checkout at import time.
- [feaLib] Support backslash-prefixed glyph names.
3.1.2 (released 2016-09-27)

- [ttLib.tables] Implement 'meta' and 'trak' tables.
- [ttx] Add --flavor option for compiling to 'woff' or 'woff2'; add
``--with-zopfli`` option to use Zopfli to compress WOFF 1.0 fonts.
- [subset] Support subsetting 'COLR'/'CPAL' and 'CBDT'/'CBLC' color
fonts tables, and 'gvar' table for variation fonts.
- [Snippets] Add ``symfont.py``, for symbolic font statistics analysis;
interpolatable.py, a preliminary script for detecting interpolation
errors; ``{merge,dump}_woff_metadata.py``.
- [classifyTools] Helpers to classify things into classes.
- [CI] Run tests on Windows, Linux and macOS using Appveyor and Travis
CI; check unit test coverage with Coverage.py/Coveralls; automatic
deployment to PyPI on tags.
- [loggingTools] Use Python built-in logging module to print messages.

- TrueType Collection (TTC) support
- Python 2.6 support
- Update Unicode data to 5.2.0
- Couple of bug fixes

- PFA font support
- Switched from Numeric to numpy
- Update Unicode data to 5.1.0
- Update AGLFN data to 1.6
- Many bug fixes
2.1 (released 2008-01-28)
-------------------------
- Many years worth of fixes and features
2.0b2 (released 2002-??-??)
---------------------------
- Be "forgiving" when interpreting the maxp table version field:
interpret any value as 1.0 if it's not 0.5. Fixes dumping of these
GPL fonts: http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/pds.cgi?ports/chinese/wangttf
- Fixed ttx -l: it turned out this part of the code didn't work with
Python 2.2.1 and earlier. My bad to do most of my testing with a
different version than I shipped TTX with :-(
- Fixed bug in ClassDef format 1 subtable (Andreas Seidel bumped into
this one).
2.0b1 (released 2002-09-10)
---------------------------
- Fixed embarrassing bug: the master checksum in the head table is now
calculated correctly even on little-endian platforms (such as Intel).
- Made the cmap format 4 compiler smarter: the binary data it creates
is now more or less as compact as possible. TTX now makes more
compact data than in any shipping font I've tested it with.
- Dump glyph names as a separate "GlyphOrder" pseudo table as opposed
to as part of the glyf table (obviously needed for CFF-OTF's).
- Added proper support for the CFF table.
- Don't barf on empty tables (questionable, but "there are font out
there...")
- When writing TT glyf data, align glyphs on 4-byte boundaries. This
seems to be the current recommendation by MS. Also: don't barf on
fonts which are already 4-byte aligned.
- Windows installer contributed bu Adam Twardoch! Yay!
- Changed the command line interface again, now by creating one new
tool replacing the old ones: ttx It dumps and compiles, depending on
input file types. The options have changed somewhat.
- The -d option is back (output dir)
- ttcompile's -i options is now called -m (as in "merge"), to avoid
clash with dump's -i.
- The -s option ("split tables") no longer creates a directory, but
instead outputs a small .ttx file containing references to the
individual table files. This is not a true link, it's a simple file
name, and the referenced file should be in the same directory so
ttcompile can find them.
- compile no longer accepts a directory as input argument. Instead it
can parse the new "mini-ttx" format as output by "ttx -s".
- all arguments are input files
- Renamed the command line programs and moved them to the Tools
subdirectory. They are now installed by the setup.py install script.
- Added OpenType support. BASE, GDEF, GPOS, GSUB and JSTF are (almost)
fully supported. The XML output is not yet final, as I'm still
considering to output certain subtables in a more human-friendly
manner.
- Fixed 'kern' table to correctly accept subtables it doesn't know
about, as well as interpreting Apple's definition of the 'kern' table
headers correctly.
- Fixed bug where glyphnames were not calculated from 'cmap' if it was
(one of the) first tables to be decompiled. More specifically: it
cmap was the first to ask for a glyphID -> glyphName mapping.
- Switched XML parsers: use expat instead of xmlproc. Should be faster.
- Removed my UnicodeString object: I now require Python 2.0 or up,
which has unicode support built in.
- Removed assert in glyf table: redundant data at the end of the table
is now ignored instead of raising an error. Should become a warning.
- Fixed bug in hmtx/vmtx code that only occured if all advances were
equal.
- Fixed subtle bug in TT instruction disassembler.
- Couple of fixes to the 'post' table.
- Updated OS/2 table to latest spec.
1.0b1 (released 2001-08-10)
---------------------------
- Reorganized the command line interface for ttDump.py and
ttCompile.py, they now behave more like "normal" command line tool,
in that they accept multiple input files for batch processing.
- ttDump.py and ttCompile.py don't silently override files anymore, but
ask before doing so. Can be overridden by -f.
- Added -d option to both ttDump.py and ttCompile.py.
- Installation is now done with distutils. (Needs work for environments
without compilers.)
- Updated installation instructions.
- Added some workarounds so as to handle certain buggy fonts more
gracefully.
- Updated Unicode table to Unicode 3.0 (Thanks Antoine!)
- Included a Python script by Adam Twardoch that adds some useful stuff
to the Windows registry.
- Moved the project to SourceForge.
1.0a6 (released 2000-03-15)
---------------------------
- Big reorganization: made ttLib a subpackage of the new fontTools
package, changed several module names. Called the entire suite
"FontTools"
- Added several submodules to fontTools, some new, some older.
- Added experimental CFF/GPOS/GSUB support to ttLib, read-only (but XML
dumping of GPOS/GSUB is for now disabled)
- Fixed hdmx endian bug
- Added -b option to ttCompile.py, it disables recalculation of
bounding boxes, as requested by Werner Lemberg.
- Renamed tt2xml.pt to ttDump.py and xml2tt.py to ttCompile.py
- Use ".ttx" as file extension instead of ".xml".
- TTX is now the name of the XML-based *format* for TT fonts, and not
just an application.
1.0a5
-----
Never released
- More tables supported: hdmx, vhea, vmtx
1.0a3 & 1.0a4
-------------
Never released
- fixed most portability issues
- retracted the "Euro_or_currency" change from 1.0a2: it was
nonsense!
1.0a2 (released 1999-05-02)
---------------------------
- binary release for MacOS
- genenates full FOND resources: including width table, PS font name
info and kern table if applicable.
- added cmap format 4 support. Extra: dumps Unicode char names as XML
comments!
- added cmap format 6 support
- now accepts true type files starting with "true" (instead of just
0x00010000 and "OTTO")
- 'glyf' table support is now complete: I added support for composite
scale, xy-scale and two-by-two for the 'glyf' table. For now,
component offset scale behaviour defaults to Apple-style. This only
affects the (re)calculation of the glyph bounding box.
- changed "Euro" to "Euro_or_currency" in the Standard Apple Glyph
order list, since we cannot tell from the 'post' table which is
meant. I should probably doublecheck with a Unicode encoding if
available. (This does not affect the output!)
Fixed bugs: - 'hhea' table is now recalculated correctly - fixed wrong
assumption about sfnt resource names
1.0a1 (released 1999-04-27)
---------------------------
- initial binary release for MacOS
