zttf

Python TTF file parser

This was written to allow fonts to be parsed and then subsets generated for use in a PDF documents.

It was developed using Python 3.4 and will work to a degree with Python 2 it needs additional testing and development there.

Simple Usage

'''python

from zttf.ttfile import TTFile font_file = TTFile('DroidSans.ttf') font_file.is_valid True font_file.faces [<zttf.ttf.TTFont object at 0x7f3569b73b50>] face = font_file.faces[0] face.family_name Droid Sans face.name DroidSans face.italic_angle 0 '''

When used with a font collection, there will be multiple faces available.

'''python

from zttf.ttfile import TTFile font_file = TTFile('Futura.ttc') font_file.is_valid True font_file.faces [<zttf.ttf.TTFont object at 0x7fc97520bc50>, <zttf.ttf.TTFont object at 0x7fc97520bc90>, <zttf.ttf.TTFont object at 0x7fc97520bd90>, <zttf.ttf.TTFont object at 0x7fc973b4c190>] font_file.faces[0].font_family Futura font_file.faces[0].name Futura-Medium font_file.faces[1].name Futura-MediumItalic font_file.faces[2].name Futura-CondensedMedium font_file.faces[3].name Futura-CondensedExtraBold '''

Subsetting is done by passing in a subset of the characters desired. All required glyphs will be found and copied into the new file.

'''python

from zttf.ttfile import TTFile font_file = TTFile('Futura.ttc') subset = [ord('H'), ord('e'), ord('l'), ord('o')] sub_font = font_file.faces[0].make_subset(subset) sub_font.output() ... with open('new_font.ttf', 'wb') as fh: fh.write(sub_font.output()) '''
