Tools

Sample Usage

Compare fonts:

python compare_font.py font1.ttf font2.ttf;

Add a METADATA.pb to a family directory

python add_font.py ../ofl/newfamily;

Sanity check a family directory:

python sanity_check.py --repair_script=/tmp/fix.py ../ofl/josefinsans;
python sanity_check.py --repair_script=/tmp/fix.py --fix_type=fsSelection ../ufl;

Requirements

These tools are intended to work with Python 2.7 systems.

While these tools may work with Python 3.x, if so, that's a happy accident.
