Fonttools
FontTools es una librería de Python para leer, modificar y escribir archivos de fuentes de forma programática. Sirve como un parser de fuentes OpenType y TrueType y una herramienta para transformar archivos de fuentes binarios en XML legible por humanos para su edición y reconstrucción.
El proyecto incluye un gestor para leer y escribir archivos fuente Unified Font Object dentro de carpetas locales o archivos comprimidos. También proporciona una utilidad especializada para comprimir fuentes web para reducir el tamaño del archivo y mejorar el rendimiento de carga.
La librería cubre la manipulación programática de fuentes, incluyendo la modificación de métricas de fuentes y datos de glifos. Proporciona capacidades para la simplificación de contornos de glifos mediante operaciones booleanas, análisis de fuentes variables para detectar desajustes maestros y conversión de formatos de fuentes.
