New @FontTools 4.45.0 is a `pip install --upgrade fonttools` away from you! It contains my work on generating PDF/HTML from the `varLib.interpolatable` tool. Check out the sample output: github.com/behdad/google-…
FontTools 4.38.0 is out! Thanks to @behdad, the instancer can now change a variable font's axis default value, e.g. you have 2 masters Thin+Black and want a Regular in between, or wish to restrict min/max to a range that doesn't include the old default github.com/fonttools/font…
This is a gist of FontTools-based utilites & extension libraries. Ones I know about, anyway. gist.github.com/n8willis/49355…

@revolvertype f = TTFont(path/to/font.ttf) for table in f["cmap"].tables: # chr(97) == "a" table.cmap[97] = "s" AFAIK you have to set a glyph for a unicode and not a unicode for a glyph.
God. As a professional font developer with nearly 30 years of experoence, I love @FontTools and #Python. That is all. @ThePSF
The power of @FontTools Pens is all about protocol: it's a standardized collection of methods with standardized call signatures. Any object that implements the pen protocol can be used by any code that writes to pens. Any code that writes to pens can be used with any pen.

The latest @FontTools release has a nice feature courtesy of some work @KhaledGhetas was doing for us: now subset OTL table contents by language system tags. github.com/fonttools/font…
In case anyone out there wants to change the colors in my Megabase OpenType-SVG color fonts, here’s a quick demo where I dig into the guts of the font file with @FontTools TTX and mess with the color values. 🎨🎥🍿youtube.com/watch?v=_mywly…
I have to say, it’s just a joy to work with the @FontTools library. It’s designed in a way that makes it a breeze to do everything I want to do with it. ✨🔡🔨✨
@justvanrossum @FontTools I guessed it might be something like directly paying someone to work on FontTools. What would be really helpful, though, would be something like a prioritised list of open issues or desired new feature work in need of funding, perhaps with estimated costs.
About 18 months ago, I made a script to shorten font names 4 & 6 using TTX then XMLstarlet. I just rewrote the script using TTFont, and no exaggeration, it runs probably 100x faster. This is running on 90 fonts, so my build is *dramatically* faster. 😅 Thanks, @FontTools!
.@FontTools documentation is now available on @readthedocs fonttools.readthedocs.io/en/latest/

@FontTools I guess a poll on twitter is not best decision making. There are tons of unsupported packages for the mix of intel/M1 with different version of python. Dont rush!
@Mark2Mark_one @ArrowType You're very welcome. :) Now I've got to warn, moving the default typically blows up the font size unfortunately, because of how OT variations are stored... Here's the core of the logic, with ASCII art: github.com/fonttools/font…
Behdad was on a roll with the ASCII art! Excellent work.

@gcqd_ This is not a font problem. The issue is that the font renderer doesn’t remove overlap prior to drawing the stroke. Pretty much all variable fonts are designed with overlaps like these, including Inter and San Francisco.
New tool: "flowify" turns your fonts into unit-for-unit compatible "flow" variants for UX and layout wireframing. github.com/simoncozens/fl… (Thanks to @googlefonts for supporting the development of this tool.)
@belluz_j @FontTools I’ve been reading over the new designspace features and it all looks very helpful! One thing I’ve been trying to figure out though: Will it be possible to set the font family names for each variable font directly in the designspace file (similar to how it works with instances)?
Just once I would like to get through a week without hitting a fonttools or ufo2ft bug which steals a day of my time.
.@mark_barratt was a generous and wise boss when I was a contract programmer. Then he got me an invite to the Granshan conference in Reading, and now here I am. I owe him so much. Remember to thank those who guide you, while you can.
With Unicode 14 out, time for a regular reminder: If you are developing minority script fonts for community use, I will help you with engineering. No charge.

@TiroTypeworks @simoncozens @bahmantype @rob_arista @FontTools A file is a complex object, too, with many methods (in Python). Knowing the name for it is not nearly enough to understand the concepts involved. The problem with pens is not the name, but documentation.
@TiroTypeworks @simoncozens @bahmantype @rob_arista @FontTools They are names for abstractions. I never think of a physical file when opening a file in my program. Same with dictionary or pen.
@TiroTypeworks @simoncozens @bahmantype @rob_arista @FontTools You don't moveto or lineto a plotter x.com/justvanrossum/…
@simoncozens @bahmantype @rob_arista @FontTools The "pen" metaphor fits well in most cases: it's a tool to get a drawing onto a medium. Different mediums may require different kind of pens.
The power of @FontTools Pens is all about protocol: it's a standardized collection of methods with standardized call signatures. Any object that implements the pen protocol can be used by any code that writes to pens. Any code that writes to pens can be used with any pen.
This morning I've been subclassing a @FontTools BasePen, and it's such a cool abstraction. Easy to use, clean code, very expressive. Thanks @justvanrossum
