Font tooling and OpenType engineering

26 repos

Python libraries and utilities for designing, building, testing, and manipulating digital fonts and OpenType font files. The cluster centers on tools like fontTools (core font file parsing and manipulation), fontbakery (automated font quality assurance), and ufo2ft (UFO to font compilation), alongside supporting libraries for font metrics, glyph manipulation, and format conversion. This is an active area where font developers and type designers build infrastructure for professional font production and validation.
