mtiLib: Read Monotype FontDame source files

Overview

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, running the fonttools mtiLib command will convert a text file to TTX XML.

Module members:

fontTools.mtiLib.build(f, font, tableTag=None)

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_)

fontTools.mtiLib.main(args=None, font=None)

Convert a FontDame OTL file to TTX XML

Writes XML output to stdout.

Parameters:

args – Command line arguments (--font, --table, input files).
