Package: wnpp Severity: wishlist X-Debbugs-Cc: d...@fifthhorseman.net * Package name : pysilfont Version : 1.6.0 Upstream Contact: SIL International <fo...@sil.org> * URL : https://github.com/silnrsi/pysilfont * License : MIT Programming Lang: Python Description : Collection of utilities for font development
This collection of tools supports font development, with an emphasis on UFO-based workflows. With some limitations, all UFO scripts in Pysilfont should work with UFO2 or UFO3 source files - and can convert from one format to the other. In addition, all scripts will output UFOs in a normalized form, designed to work with source control systems. --- UFO is what SIL recommends for fonts today: https://silnrsi.github.io/FDBP/en-US/UFO.html It is useful, for example, for building their modern fonts like Scheherezade New from source: https://github.com/silnrsi/font-scheherazade
