3.10 is out next week, while 3.6 reaches end of life by the end of this year.
It's time to require 3.7 or greater, so we can finally use built-in dataclasses and more.
Fixes https://github.com/fonttools/fonttools/issues/2350
* List all modules and utilities
* Move wordy optional requirements to separate page
* Remove cruft from README and add pointers to online documentation
It's no longer working since we moved to the new fonttools organization, and it wasn't that useful after all
(I never used it myself), so I'm removing it from the main page.
In b1093c8a I removed py36 from the default tox envlist.
I kept only py27 and py37.
This doesn't mean one can't run tests against py36 as well.
Just that running tox without args, or without setting TOXENV variable
will run py27 and py37 by default
python setup.py test no longer works. The 'tests_require' keyword in setup()
is no longer supported by setuptools.
We use tox to bootstrap the test environment, so we don't need that
The AAT `ankr` anchor point table is an auxiliary table for `kerx`,
used to store anchor overrides in case the glyph itself does not
supply the needed anchors as control points. Among the fonts that
come pre-installed with MacOS 10.12.6, `ankr` is used by a handful
of non-Latin fonts such as “Myanmar MN”, “Devanagari Sangam MN”,
and “Arial HB”.

Other metamorphosis types are not yet supported and will raise an error
upon decompilation. The TTX tool catches the error and continues to emit
a hexdump of the table contents, just as before this change.
Interestingly, this can handle the examples from the AAT specification
(which are part of the unit tests), and also most AAT fonts on my disk.
However, some other AAT fonts such as Apple Chancery cannot be decompiled.
The failure seems to be a general problem with how fonttools decompiles
AAT lookups of format 4, and unrelated to this present change.
