FontForge不是一个python模块,而是独立的软件。因此,与其从python脚本中调用FontForge,不如从fontforge的可执行文件中调用python。由于我想从一个python脚本中创建.ttf
格式的字体。我写了一个额外的名为execute.py
的python脚本,它执行了一个cmd
的命令,该命令执行了执行pythonsvgs2ttf
脚本的fontforge。
The execute.py
包含。
import os
os.system('cmd /k "fontforge -lang=py -script svgs2ttf examples/example.json"')
The svgs2ttf
script is modified from this repository包含。
# one can run this script with:
#fontforge -lang=py -script svgs2ttf examples/example.json
import sys
import os.path
import json
import fontforge
IMPORT_OPTIONS = ('removeoverlap', 'correctdir')
unicode
except NameError:
unicode = str
def loadConfig(filename='font.json'):
with open(filename) as f:
return json.load(f)
def setProperties(font, config):
props = config['props']
lang = props.pop('lang', 'English (US)')
family = props.pop('family', None)
style = props.pop('style', 'Regular')
props['encoding'] = props.get('encoding', 'UnicodeFull')
if family is not None:
font.familyname = family
font.fontname = family + '-' + style
font.fullname = family + ' ' + style
for k, v in config['props'].items():
if hasattr(font, k):
if isinstance(v, list):
v = tuple(v)
setattr(font, k, v)
else:
font.appendSFNTName(lang, k, v)
for t in config.get('sfnt_names', []):
font.appendSFNTName(str(t[0]), str(t[1]), unicode(t[2]))
def addGlyphs(font, config):
for k, v in config['glyphs'].items():
g = font.createMappedChar(int(k, 0))
# Get outlines
src = '%s.svg' % k
if not isinstance(v, dict):
v = {'src': v or src}
src = '%s%s%s' % (config.get('input', '.'), os.path.sep, v.pop('src', src))
g.importOutlines(src, IMPORT_OPTIONS)
g.removeOverlap()
# Copy attributes
for k2, v2 in v.items():
if hasattr(g, k2):
if isinstance(v2, list):
v2 = tuple(v2)
setattr(g, k2, v2)
def main(config_file):
config = loadConfig(config_file)
os.chdir(os.path.dirname(config_file) or '.')
font = fontforge.font()
setProperties(font, config)
addGlyphs(font, config)
for outfile in config['output']:
sys.stderr.write('Generating %s...\n' % outfile)
font.generate(outfile)
if __name__ == '__main__':
if len(sys.argv) > 1:
main(sys.argv[1])
else:
sys.stderr.write("\nUsage: %s something.json\n" % sys.argv[0] )
它可以增强转换功能,转换比a
和b
更多的符号,在examples
文件夹中包括所有的符号图像来生成字体。
