<p><tt>T.O.O.L.S.: Things Other Objects Lack (Sometimes)<br>

-assorted raw tools.<br>
|
||
|
|
<br>
|
||
|
|
This is an assorted colection of raw tools that do<br>
|
||
|
|
things inside of FontLab. Many of these functions<br>
|
||
|
|
form the bedrock of objectsFL. In short, use these<br>
|
||
|
|
tools only if you need the raw functions and they are<br>
|
||
|
|
not supported by the objects.<br>
|
||
|
|
<br>
|
||
|
|
Object model:<br>
|
||
|
|
Most of these tools were written before<br>
|
||
|
|
objectsFL. Some of these tools are used by<br>
|
||
|
|
objectsFL. That means that if you want to<br>
|
||
|
|
use functions from robofab.tools you can always<br>
|
||
|
|
feed them FontLab objects (like Font, Glyps,<br>
|
||
|
|
etc.). If the functions also accept Robjects from<br>
|
||
|
|
robofab.objects it is usually mentioned in the<br>
|
||
|
|
doc string.<br>
|
||
|
|
<br>
|
||
|
|
This is a simple way to convert a robofab Font<br>
|
||
|
|
object back to a FL Font object. Even if you don't<br>
|
||
|
|
know which particular faith an object belongs to<br>
|
||
|
|
you can use this:<br>
|
||
|
|
<br>
|
||
|
|
font = unwrapFont(font)</tt></p>
