class GlyphOrder |
| |
A pseudo table. The glyph order isn't in the font as a separate
table, but it's nice to present it as such in the TTX format.

class TTFont |
| |
The main font object. It manages file input and output, and offers
a convenient way of accessing tables.
Tables will be only decompiled when neccesary, ie. when they're actually
accessed. This means that simple operations can be extremely fast.

Methods defined here:
- __contains__ = has_key(self, tag)
- __delitem__(self, tag)
- __getitem__(self, tag)
- __init__(self, file=None, res_name_or_index=None, sfntVersion='\x00\x01\x00\x00', checkChecksums=0, verbose=0, recalcBBoxes=1)
- The constructor can be called with a few different arguments.
When reading a font from disk, 'file' should be either a pathname
pointing to a file, or a readable file object.
It we're running on a Macintosh, 'res_name_or_index' maybe an sfnt
resource name or an sfnt resource index number or zero. The latter
case will cause TTLib to autodetect whether the file is a flat file
or a suitcase. (If it's a suitcase, only the first 'sfnt' resource
will be read!)
The 'checkChecksums' argument is used to specify how sfnt
checksums are treated upon reading a file from disk:
0: don't check (default)
1: check, print warnings if a wrong checksum is found
2: check, raise an exception if a wrong checksum is found.
The TTFont constructor can also be called without a 'file'
argument: this is the way to create a new empty font.
In this case you can optionally supply the 'sfntVersion' argument.
If the recalcBBoxes argument is false, a number of things will *not*
be recalculated upon save/compile:
1) glyph bounding boxes
2) maxp font bounding box
3) hhea min/max values
(1) is needed for certain kinds of CJK fonts (ask Werner Lemberg ;-).
Additionally, upon importing an TTX file, this option cause glyphs
to be compiled right away. This should reduce memory consumption
greatly, and therefore should have some impact on the time needed
to parse/compile large fonts.
- __len__(self)
- __setitem__(self, tag, table)
- close(self)
- If we still have a reader object, close it.
- getGlyphID(self, glyphName)
- getGlyphName(self, glyphID)
- getGlyphNames(self)
- Get a list of glyph names, sorted alphabetically.
- getGlyphNames2(self)
- Get a list of glyph names, sorted alphabetically,
but not case sensitive.
- getGlyphOrder(self)
- getGlyphSet(self, preferCFF=1)
- Return a generic GlyphSet, which is a dict-like object
mapping glyph names to glyph objects. The returned glyph objects
have a .draw() method that supports the Pen protocol, and will
have an attribute named 'width', but only *after* the .draw() method
has been called.
If the font is CFF-based, the outlines will be taken from the 'CFF '
table. Otherwise the outlines will be taken from the 'glyf' table.
If the font contains both a 'CFF ' and a 'glyf' table, you can use
the 'preferCFF' argument to specify which one should be taken.
- getTableData(self, tag)
- Returns raw table data, whether compiled or directly read from disk.
- has_key(self, tag)
- importXML(self, file, progress=None)
- Import a TTX file (an XML-based text format), so as to recreate
a font object.
- isLoaded(self, tag)
- Return true if the table identified by 'tag' has been
decompiled and loaded into memory.
- keys(self)
- save(self, file, makeSuitcase=0, reorderTables=1)
- Save the font to disk. Similarly to the constructor,
the 'file' argument can be either a pathname or a writable
file object.
On the Mac, if makeSuitcase is true, a suitcase (resource fork)
file will we made instead of a flat .ttf file.
- saveXML(self, fileOrPath, progress=None, tables=None, skipTables=None, splitTables=0, disassembleInstructions=1)
- Export the font as TTX (an XML-based text file), or as a series of text
files when splitTables is true. In the latter case, the 'fileOrPath'
argument should be a path to a directory.
The 'tables' argument must either be false (dump all tables) or a
list of tables to dump. The 'skipTables' argument may be a list of tables
to skip, but only when the 'tables' argument is false.
- setGlyphOrder(self, glyphOrder)
