fonttools VS woff2

The tool parent and sibling comment listed allows you to do basic subsetting [1], and generates the formats you need. If you do this more often, it is of course useful to learn how to do this yourself. A commonly used tool is pyftsubset, part of fonttools [2]

I know fontforge doesn't support OTF-SVG, but I'm actually using it for creating OTF-SVG from scratch. Is anyone willing to help me with this issue? https://github.com/fonttools/fonttools/discussions/3229

I'm having this issue and maybe here someone can help me.. https://github.com/fonttools/fonttools/discussions/3229

In short, I draw glyphs in png and use python to build fonts (by https://github.com/fonttools/fonttools ). I agreed on some rules and then everything became simple. No required professional font editer.

If you have FontTools successfully installed, there is also a bundled script that's similar to what justinpenner's code does, without the built-in directories; you can find it at https://github.com/fonttools/fonttools/blob/main/Snippets/layout-features.py

What I like the most is that you can also download google-fonts and convert them automatically. Webfont-Kit-Generator uses fonttools (written in Python), that's pretty cool too.

A drawback to icon fonts is that by default, you are carrying all of the glyphs in an icon font along for the ride. You can mitigate that by using a tool like fonttools to strip out the unused font glyphs.

If you're interested in learning more about how variable fonts work, I can point you to all sorts of tools and other resources. For example, fontTools includes a command line tool called ttx that converts any standard font format (ttf/otf/ttc/otc/woff/woff2) to a human-readable XML text file. You can also inspect variable and static fonts easily with online tools like Wakamai Fondue and Samsa.

If you want to look inside a font file, you can use the ttx command line tool (included with fontTools) to convert binary fonts to human-readable XML format. You can also open them in a font editor like FontForge or Glyphs if you want a GUI, but font editors may not show you everything that's inside the file.

The github you linked already has the framework on "how" to do it. If you are looking for the newest version, if you follow the path on that github they link you back to googles repo. Just clone this repo and compile it, and you will have the latest version.

I extracted and converted all of the fonts using ffmpeg and then https://github.com/google/woff2.git, set up the folder and made sure Jellyfin can see and select it from inside the mounted volumes on the container, and checked the enable fallback fonts box.

Font Squirrel's webfont generator is a popular tool that web devs use for generating webfonts from desktop fonts. You can also use Google's woff2_compress command line tool.

# clone woff2 git clone --recursive https://github.com/google/woff2.git # enter into the cloned repo cd woff2 # build make clean all # convert the font ./woff2_compress ~/Jost-400-Book-subset.ttf
