This directory contains 'namelist' files, that list unicode characters followed by glyph names or glyph descriptions.
|
|
|
|
Typically all the Unicodes in each file are in each font.
|
|
If the fonts go beyond that list, those additional characters will not be available to Fonts API end users.
|
|
|
|
The Google Fonts API uses these files in combination with [pyftsubset](https://github.com/behdad/fonttools/blob/master/Lib/fontTools/subset.py) to generate script subsets from the full `.ttf` files in this repository.
|
|
|
|
The subsetting requires that each line must start with `0x` and then have 4 **uppercase** hex digits; what follows is an arbitrary description to the end of the line.
|
|
Comments are lines starting with `#`.
|
|
|
|
A python script, `tools/namelist.py` can generate these files:
|
|
|
|
namelist.py Font.ttf > NameList.nam
|
|
|
|
The `[wgl-latin.enc]` file can be used by [Fontlab Studio 5](http://www.fontlab.com), and represented Microsoft's [Windows Glyph List 4](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_Glyph_List_4) glyph set.
|
|
|
|
A python script, `tools/unicode_names.py` can reformat these files:
|
|
|
|
python unicode_names.py --nam_file=encodings/latin_unique-glyphs.nam;
|
|
0x0020 SPACE
|
|
0x0021 ! EXCLAMATION MARK
|
|
0x0022 " QUOTATION MARK
|
|
0x0023 # NUMBER SIGN
