fontFeatures library
|
|
The purpose of this library is to provide a middle ground for representing features in a machine-manipulable format, kind of like the abstract syntax tree of a computer programmer. This is so that:
|
|
|
|
features can be represented in a structured human-readable and machine-readable way, analogous to the XML files of the Unified Font Object format.
|
|
features can be more directly authored by programs (such as font editors), rather than them having to output AFDKO feature file format.
|
|
features can be easily manipulated by programs - for example, features from two files merged together, or lookups moved between languages.
|
|
|
|
Components
|
|
|
|
fontFeatures consists of the following components:
|
|
|
|
fontFeatures itself, which is an abstract representation of the different layout operations inside a font.
|
|
fontFeatures.feaLib (included as a mixin) which translates between Adobe feature syntax and fontFeatures representation.
|
|
fontFeatures.ttLib, which translates between OpenType binary fonts and fontFeatures representation. (Currently only OTF -> fontFeatures is partially implemented; there is no fontFeatures -> OTF compiler yet.)
|
|
fontFeatures.fontDameLib which translate FontDame text files into fontFeatures objects.
|
|
|
|
And the following utilities:
|
|
|
|
otf2fea: translates an OTF file into Adobe features syntax.
|
|
txt2fea: translates a FontDame txt file into Adobe features syntax.
