width: T2CharString glyph width optimizer

T2CharString glyph width optimizer.

CFF glyphs whose width equals the CFF Private dictionary’s defaultWidthX value do not need to specify their width in their charstring, saving bytes. This module determines the optimum defaultWidthX and nominalWidthX values for a font, when provided with a list of glyph widths.

fontTools.cffLib.width.main(args=None)[source]

Calculate optimum defaultWidthX/nominalWidthX values

class fontTools.cffLib.width.missingdict(missing_func)[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
fontTools.cffLib.width.optimizeWidths(widths)[source]

Given a list of glyph widths, or dictionary mapping glyph width to number of glyphs having that, returns a tuple of best CFF default and nominal glyph widths.

This algorithm is linear in UPEM+numGlyphs.

fontTools.cffLib.width.optimizeWidthsBruteforce(widths)[source]

Bruteforce version. Veeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeery slow. Only works for smallests of fonts.
