sfnt

ttLib/sfnt.py – low-level module to deal with the sfnt file format.

Defines two public classes:

SFNTReader SFNTWriter

(Normally you don’t have to use these classes explicitly; they are used automatically by ttLib.TTFont.)

The reading and writing of sfnt files is separated in two distinct classes, since whenever the number of tables changes or whenever a table’s length changes you need to rewrite the whole file anyway.

class fontTools.ttLib.sfnt.DirectoryEntry

decodeData(rawData)

encodeData(data)

fromFile(file)

fromString(str)

loadData(file)

saveData(file, data)

toString()

class fontTools.ttLib.sfnt.SFNTDirectoryEntry

decodeData(rawData)

encodeData(data)

format = '\n\t\t> # big endian\n\t\ttag:            4s\n\t\tcheckSum:       L\n\t\toffset:         L\n\t\tlength:         L\n'

formatSize = 16

fromFile(file)

fromString(str)

loadData(file)

saveData(file, data)

toString()

class fontTools.ttLib.sfnt.SFNTReader(*args, **kwargs)

close()

has_key(tag)

keys()

class fontTools.ttLib.sfnt.SFNTWriter(*args, **kwargs)

close()

All tables must have been written to disk. Now write the directory.

setEntry(tag, entry)

class fontTools.ttLib.sfnt.WOFFDirectoryEntry

decodeData(rawData)

encodeData(data)

format = '\n\t\t> # big endian\n\t\ttag:            4s\n\t\toffset:         L\n\t\tlength:         L    # compressed length\n\t\torigLength:     L    # original length\n\t\tcheckSum:       L    # original checksum\n'

formatSize = 20

fromFile(file)

fromString(str)

loadData(file)

saveData(file, data)

toString()

class fontTools.ttLib.sfnt.WOFFFlavorData(reader=None)

Flavor = 'woff'

fontTools.ttLib.sfnt.calcChecksum(data)

Calculate the checksum for an arbitrary block of data.

If the data length is not a multiple of four, it assumes it is to be padded with null byte.

>>> print(calcChecksum(b"abcd"))
1633837924
>>> print(calcChecksum(b"abcdxyz"))
3655064932

fontTools.ttLib.sfnt.compress(data, level=6)

Compress ‘data’ to Zlib format. If ‘USE_ZOPFLI’ variable is True, zopfli is used instead of the zlib module. The compression ‘level’ must be between 0 and 9. 1 gives best speed, 9 gives best compression (0 gives no compression at all). The default value is a compromise between speed and compression (6).
