mtiLib: Read Monotype FontDame source files
FontTools provides support for reading the OpenType layout tables produced by
Monotype’s FontDame and Font Chef font editors. These tables are written in a
simple textual format. The mtiLib library parses these text files and creates
table objects representing their contents.
Additionally, fonttools mtiLib will convert a text file to TTX XML.
- class fontTools.mtiLib.DeferredMapping[source]
- clear() None. Remove all items from D.
- copy() a shallow copy of D
- fromkeys(value=None, /)
Create a new dictionary with keys from iterable and values set to value.
- get(key, default=None, /)
Return the value for key if key is in the dictionary, else default.
- items() a set-like object providing a view on D's items
- keys() a set-like object providing a view on D's keys
- pop(k[, d]) v, remove specified key and return the corresponding value.
If the key is not found, return the default if given; otherwise, raise a KeyError.
- popitem()
Remove and return a (key, value) pair as a 2-tuple.
Pairs are returned in LIFO (last-in, first-out) order. Raises KeyError if the dict is empty.
- setdefault(key, default=None, /)
Insert key with a value of default if key is not in the dictionary.
Return the value for key if key is in the dictionary, else default.
- update([E, ]**F) None. Update D from dict/iterable E and F.
If E is present and has a .keys() method, then does: for k in E: D[k] = E[k] If E is present and lacks a .keys() method, then does: for k, v in E: D[k] = v In either case, this is followed by: for k in F: D[k] = F[k]
- values() an object providing a view on D's values

Convert a Monotype font layout file to an OpenType layout object
A font object must be passed, but this may be a “dummy” font; it is only used for sorting glyph sets when making coverage tables and to hold the OpenType layout table while it is being built.
- Parameters:
f – A file object.
font (TTFont) – A font object.
tableTag (string) – If provided, asserts that the file contains data for the given OpenType table.
- Returns:
An object representing the table. (e.g.
table_G_S_U_B_)
