Said, Tal Leming has released a lot of significant plumbing as open-source RoboFab and UFO, and in recent years both Glyphs and RoboFont hadĭeveloped a healthy ecosystem of Python utilities, in a sense "closing the gapīetween scripting and application development." In particular, Tétar Primitives for manipulating glyphs, fonts, contours, and other commonĪnother proprietary application, Glyphs, had also begun using But RoboFontĬame with a large open-source Python library ( RoboFab) that defined Proprietary FontLab file format, and it was developed inĬoncert with another proprietary font editor, RoboFont.

It was widely acknowledged thatįontForge was hard to maintain (at 600,000 lines of C) and had anĪwkward user interface but, still, no one was working on an Tétar joined the FontForge team in 2014, he said, with an interest May mean that the project can count on a more diverse assortment of Open-source libraries that are widely used by font engineers and evenīy proprietary font editors. The new application builds on top of several popular In London, Adrien Tétar presented his work on a promising replacementĬalled TruFont. For years, FontForge has been the dominant free-softwareĪpplication for editing and building font files, but it has alwaysīeen a difficult codebase to work with.
