Python font tooling and OpenType

15 repos

Libraries and command-line tools for working with font files, particularly OpenType and variable fonts, using Python as the primary implementation language. The cluster centers on font compilation, subsetting, and manipulation (fonttools, fontmake, ufo2ft) and includes bindings to lower-level font shaping engines like HarfBuzz. Developers working in this area build tools for font production pipelines, variable font support, and cross-platform text rendering.
