* Package name : fonttools-opentype-feature-freezer * URL : https://github.com/twardoch/fonttools-opentype-feature-freezer * License : Apache-2 Programming Lang: Python Description : permanently "apply" OpenType features to fonts Many professional fonts come with "OpenType features" – special typographic effects such as true small capitals, alternative character shapes, ligatures, or figures (numbers) that align differently with text. Normally, you need specific software that allows you to turn these features on. OpenType Feature Freezer modifies a font file so that selected OpenType features are "frozen" into it. The characters that were previously only accessible via these features become the default characters in the modified font. This is a prerequisite for a version update for fonts-montserrat. I am going to maintain this in the Python Team.
